## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ STATED THAT HE HAD LEFT MORRISTOWN, TN HEADED TO TRENTON, TN. HE WAS AT 3500 FEET, WHEN THE ENGINE QUIT. HE STATED THAT HE PULLED CARBURETOR HEAT, SWAPPED FUEL TANKS, AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE ENGINE SEVERAL TIMES. HE WAS HEADED WEST, SO HE TURNED SOUTH TO SETUP FOR A FORCED LANDING. HE PICKED THE SOYBEAN FIELD BECAUSE THE OTHER FIELDS IN THE AREA HAD POWER LINES. HE SLIPPED THE AIRCRAFT FROM 800 FEET AND TURNED THE FUEL OFF ONCE HE REALIZED THE SOYBEANS WERE TALLER THEN HE ORIGINALLY THOUGHT. HE LANDED, AND THE SOYBEANS CAUGHT THE LANDING GEAR AND TURNED THE AIRCRAFT UPSIDE DOWN. HE SAID THAT HE WAS NOT INJURED IN THE ACCIDENT.
