(-23) ON FEBRUARY 20, 2008 AT 1310 EDT A CESSNA 172S REGISTERED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE DECLARED AN EMERGENCY OVER THE 121.5 FREQUENCY. AT 1314 PILOT REBROADCAST OVER THE 121.5 FREQUENCY THAT HE HAD LANDED ON COUNTY ROAD 731 IN VENUS, FL SAFELY DUE TO LOSS OF THE AIRCRAFT ENGINE POWER. VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED AT THE TIME. NO DAMAGE WAS SUSTAINED BY THE AIRCRAFT AND THE PILOT WAS NOT INJURED.

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.
