## Narrative

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

PILOT WAS EXPERIENCING ENGINE INDICATION PROBLEMS IN-FLIGHT (SEVERAL ENGINE INSTUMENTS SHOWED HIGH READINGS) AND WAS CONCERNED HE MAY BE HAVING OR ABOUT TO HAVE A SERIOUS ENGINE PROBLEM.  HE SELECTED "NEAREAST" ON GPS WHICH SHOWED "KDPG" 5 MILES OUT.  HE CIRCLED THE AIRPORT AND WAS TRANSMITTING ON A HANDHELD BUT RECEIVED NO RESPONSE.  HE STATED THAT HE DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND LANDED AT KDPG, A RUNWAY LOCATED IN A RESTRICTED AREA (DUGWAY PROVING GROUNDS).  OFFICIALS AT KDPG WERE CALLED IN AND QUESTIONED THE PILOT; THEY WERE SATISFIED THAT THE LANDING WAS MADE DUE TO AN EMERGENCY.  PILOT DETERMINED THAT PROBLEM WAS ELECTRICAL IN NATURE AND NOT ENGINE RELATED.  PILOT HAND PROPPED THE AIRCRAFT, DEPARTED KDPG WITH COORDINATION FROM KDPG OFFICICALS, AND CONTINUED ON TO HAILEY, ID.

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.
