What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) On April 7, 2007 about 1239 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 152, N46913, registered to and operated by voyager aviation international, experienced a loss of engine power and nosed over during a forced landing near loxahatchee, Florida. VFR conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plan was filed for the 14 CFR part 91 personal flight from merritt island airport, merritt island, Florida, to okeechobee, Florida. The airplane was substantially damaged and the private-rated pilot and pilot-rated passenger were not injured. The flight originated about 1015, from the merritt island airport. The pilot stated that after takeoff the flight proceeded to palm beach county glades airport, pahokee, Florida, where she performed 1 touch-and-go landing. After takeoff following the touch-and-go landing she climbed to 1,200 to 1,300 feet and leaned the fuel/air ratio. The engine then experienced a loss of engine power and she enriched the fuel/air ratio, which was unsuccessful in restoring engine power. The engine quit and she maneuvered the airplane for a forced landing in a field but the flight was too fast and high. She overshot the intended field and landed in a surgarcane field.
