## Narrative

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

(-23)  AIRCRAFT DEPARTED POU AT APPROXIMATELY 0900 LOCAL TIME ON A TRAINING FLIGHT.  TWENTY MINUTES INTO THE FLIGHT THE AIRCRAFT ENGINE BEGAN TO LOOSE POWER (4500 RPM TO 3500 RPM).   AN EMERGENCY LANDING WAS PERFORMED INTO A LOCAL FIELD APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES NORTH OF POU.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS UNDAMAGED AND THE OCCUPANTS UNINJURED.  POSSIBLE IMPROPER MIXTURE OF FUEL AND TWO STROKE OIL ON PRIOR OPERATION MAY BE A FACTOR.  A BROKEN IGNITION GROUND WAS ALSO NOTED DURING THE ON-SITE INSPECTION.  ENGINE WILL BE SENT TO MANUFACTURER FOR INSPECTION.

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.
