What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) The accident occurred when N9832G attempted to land in a farm field due to loss of engine power. Ground scars indicate that the aircraft touched down and bounced. The nose gear sank into the muddy terrain, separating the nose tire assembly from the nose gear, and the airplane nosed over coming to rest in an inverted position approximately 60 feet after first touching down. The flight controls were checked for continuity, with no discontinuity found. The wing flaps were found in the retracted (up) position. There was no smell or leakage of fuel at the crash site, and both left and right fuel caps were installed.
