## Narrative

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

PILOT WAS FLYING FROM FPR TO LCQ AT 10,500 AND HAD REDUCED POWER TO DESCEND TO 8500 FT. WHEN LEVELING OFF THE PILOT NOTICED THE POWER WAS DETERIORATING, DID NOT RESPOND TO POWER LEVER INPUTS AND CONTINUED TO DETERIORATE TO ZERO . ATTEMPTS AT RESTART WERE UNSUCCESSFULL. AIRCRAFT WAS LANDED IN A SOD FIELD DAMAGING THE LANDING GEAR AND PROPELLER. THE ENGINE POWER TURBINE WAS VISABLE THROUGH THE EXHAUST OPENING AND APPEARS TO HAVE SUBSTAINED MAJOR HEAT DAMAGE TO THE POWER TURBINE. THE AIRCRAFT OWNER STATED THAT WHEN HE RECOVERED THE AIRCRAFT FROM THE FIELD HE DRAINED 120 GALLONS OF FUEL FROM THE WING TANKS.

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.
