## Narrative

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

(-23) ON SATURDAY FEBRUARY 17 THE PILOT ^PRIVACY DATA OMIT^ DEPARTED DUG BAR AN UNIMPROVED AIR STRIP ON THE SNAKE RIVER. THE WEATHER WAS CLEAR. THE PILOT ^PRIVACY DA^ STATED THAT THE TAKEOFF WAS NORMAL AND AT ABOUT TWENTY FEET IN THE AIR HE GOT AN UNCOMMANDED POWER REDUCTION. HE STATED HE HAD USED THE CARBURETOR HEAT DURING THE RUNUP BEFORE DEPARTURE BUT DID NOT REAPPLY THE CARBURETOR HEAT DURING THE SUBSEQUENT LANDING. HE LANDED IN A FIELD THAT WAS HIS ONLY OPTION AFTER DEPARTURE FROM THE AIRPORT. THE LANDING WAS NORMAL BUT THE RUNOUT WAS ROUGH. JUST PRIOR TO STOPPING THE AIRCRAFT THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED. THE PILOT ^PRIVACY DA^ AND HIS PASSENGER RECEIVED NO INJURIES DURING THIS EVENT.

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.
