## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT REPORTED THAT HIS RIGHT ENGINE QUIT SHORTLY AFTER STARTING HIS DESCENT OUT OF CLOUDS AT ABOUT 18,000 FT. WESTBOUND TO MEEKER, CO FROM DENVER, CO. A SHORT TIME LATER THE LEFT ENGINE LOST POWER BUT REMAINED RUNNING. HE SHUT THE LEFT ENGINE DOWN BECAUSE HE THOUGHT IT WAS PRODUCING MORE DRAG THAN THRUST. HE HAD PLANNED AN ENGINE OUT LANDING AT EAGLE AIRPORT BUT AS HE GOT CLOSER HE THOUGHT HE MIGHT NOT MAKE THE AIRPORT AND LANDED ON INTERSTATE 70. THE AIRCRAFT INCURRED MINOR DAMAGE WHEN THE RIGHT TIP TANK AND WING STRUCK MARKER POSTS. NO OTHER DAMAGE OR INJURIES OCCURRED.

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.
