## Narrative

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

(-23) ON SITE INVESTIGATION REVEALED NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. THERE WAS ABOUT THREE GALS OF FUEL IN THE RT WING AND ABOUT THREE AND A HALF IN THE LEFT TANK. IT IS KNOWN THAT THE AIRCRAFT WAS TOPPED OFF AT PAGE AIRPORT 11.2 MILES FROM THE IMPACT SITE. ALL FLIGHT CONTROLS HAD CONTINUITY, ENGINE CONTROLS COULD NOT BE INSPECTED AT THE SITE BECAUSE OF THE DAMAGE TO THE COCKPIT. THE ENGINE ITSELF ALSO COULD NOT BE INSPECTED AT THE SITE BECAUSE OF THE DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT. ONE BLADE OF THE REPELLER WAS VISIBLE BUT UNABLE TO INSPECT. THE NTSB IIC ^PRIVACY DATA OMIT^ WILL CONTACT ME AFTER THE ENGINE HAS BEEN INSPECTED TO LET ME KNOW OF ANY FINDINGS FOUND. ^PRIVACY DAT^ WILL INFORM ME OF ANY AIRCRAFT LOG BOOK DISCREPANCIES. ^PRIVACY DAT^ INFORMED ME NOTHING WAS FOUND DURING THE INSPECTION OF THE ENGINE AND THAT THE ENGINE WAS AIRWORTHY. AT THIS POINT AND TIME THE CAUSE OF THE EVENT COULD NOT BE DETERMINED, ANY FURTHER FINDINGS WILL BE ADDED TO THE -23 AS AN AMENDMENT. ALSO SOME OF THE INFORMATION NEEDED FOR THE -23 COULD NOT BE OBTAINED.
