## Narrative

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

(-23) THE AIRCRAFT'S ENGINE ABRUPTLY QUIT IN THE TRAFFIC PATTERN, ON THE DOWNWIND LEG, SLIGHTLY BEYOND THE 180. THE PILOT IMMEDIATELY TURNED TOWARDS THE RUNWAY, BUT WAS UNABLE TO CLEAR A TROUGH 20 YARDS SHORT OF THE THRESHOLD. THE TROUGH CAUGHT THE RIGHT LANDING GEAR, TEARING IT OFF. THE AIRCRAFT THEN FLIPPED INVERTED.
