## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) THE AIRCRAFT N3298B DEPARTED 79C AT APPROXIMATELY 1940 CDT. THE PILOT IN COMMAND WAS FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR ^PRIVACY DATA O^. ON THE CLIMB OUT AT ABOUT 250 FT AGL THE PILOTS HEARD A BANG AND THE ENGINE COMPLETELY LOST POWER. THEY GLIDED TO A STOP IN A BEAN FIELD. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE AIRFRAME. A BRACKET ON THE ENGINE BROKE OFF. THIS CAUSED THE CHAIN OF EVENTS TO CAUSE THE ENGINE TO FAIL. OUR INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT A BRACKET BROKE OFF THE ENGINE, WHICH HIT THE PROPELLER AND CAUSED THE TIP OF THE PROPELLER TO BREAK OFF. THEN DUE TO THE VIBRATION, IT CAUSED THE ENGINE TO FAIL.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
