## Narrative

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

(-23) APPROACHING FLOYD W JONES AIRPORT (LBO) IN LEBANON, MISSOURI, WHILE IN A DESCENT, THE ENGINE BEGAN TO RUN ROUGH SO THE PILOT APPLIED CARB HEAT AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO RUN SOMEWHAT SMOOTHER.  AS HE BEGAN TO PREPARE FOR AN ARRIVAL AT THE AIRPORT, HE PUSHED THE CARB HEAT PARTIALLY IN AND LEVELED OFF.  THE PILOT STATED THAT THE ENGINE ROUGHNESS INCREASED AND, RATHER THAN FLY OVER THE TOWN WITH A QUESTIONABLE ENGINE, HE DECIDED TO EXECUTE A PRECAUTIONARY LANDING IN A VACANT FIELD 6 MILES NORTH OF TOWN.  MINOR DAMAGE OCCURRED TO A BOLT ON THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR STRUT DURING THE SUCCESSFUL OFF-FIELD LANDING.  INCIDENT ICE052009012 IS CLOSED.

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.
