## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT WENT UP WITH FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR TO DO HIS BIANNUAL FLIGHT REVIEW ABOUT 5 MILES WEST OF THE AIRPORT (N89). AFTER COMPLETING MANEUVERS OF STEEP POWERED TURNS, SLOW TURNS, AND LOW POWERED STALLS, THE ENGINE STARTED RUNNING ROUGH AND LOSING POWER. THEY IMMEDIATELY STARTED BACK FOR THE AIRPORT. THEY TRIED TO LOWER THE GEAR, BUT IT WOULD NOT GO DOWN. THEY TRIED LOWERING THE GEAR MANUALLY. AFTER CIRCLING WITH PARTIAL POWER THE POWER QUIT. WHILE APPROACHING TO LAND, ANOTHER AIRCRAFT WAS LINED UP TO LAND IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. WHILE PLANNING TO DO S TURNS, THE OTHER AIRCRAFT WHICH DID NOT LAND CLIMBED OUT TOWARDS THEM. THEY BANKED TO GET AWAY FROM THE OTHER AIRCRAFT, AND WITH WIND CONDITIONS, AND ENGINE CONDITION, THEY WERE UNABLE TO GET BACK TO THE RUNWAY, AND SO LANDED IN A CORNFIELD ADJACENT TO AND APPROXIMATELY 100 YARDS FROM THE RUNWAY. AT SITE ALL THREE GEARS WERE UP. THE FUEL TANKS WERE CLOSE TO FULL. THE FUEL SUMPS WERE CHECKED FOR WATER/CONTAMINATION AND FOUND NONE. THE LANDING GEAR OPERATION WAS FOUND TO BE NORMAL. ANOTHER PROP WAS INSTALLED ON THE ENGINE, AND POWER RUN OPERATION WAS FOUND TO BE NORMAL.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System.

Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
