## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ WAS FLYING N227RD, DA20-C1, IN THE PATTERN AT FALCON FIELD.  EVERYTHING WAS FINE UNTIL HE TURNED LEFT BASE ON RWY 31.  HE STATED AT THAT TIME HE NOTICED THE ENGINE WAS ONLY PRODUCING 900 RPM'S WITH FULL THROTTLE, MIXTURE RICH.  WHEN HE TURNED FINAL, HE STATED THAT HE REALIZED HE COULD NOT MAKE THE RUNWAY.  HE SAW A CLEARED FIELD AND DECIDED TO LAND IN IT INSTEAD OF THE TREES AHEAD.  HE STATED HE DIDN'T REMEMBER MUCH OF THE IMPACT.
