## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT DEPARTED RUNWAY 5 CLIMBED TO 600 FEET TURNED TO CROSSWIND WHEN LOST POWER.  TURNED DOWNWIND TO RUNWAY 23, AIRCRAFT ON SHORT FINAL FOR 5, LANDED ON THE TAXIWAY AND NORTH PARKING RAMP, WENT INTO DRAINAGE DITCH, PROPELLER HIT THE EDGE OF THE DITCH AND NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED.  THE ENGINE WAS RUN AND STARTED WITH NO PROBLEM.  AT IDLE, ALL THE PRESSURES AND TEMPS WERE NORMAL.  RAN UP THE POWER TO ABOUT 50 PERCENT.  AGAIN, ALL TEMPS AND PRESSURES WERE WITHIN LIMITS.

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.
