## Narrative

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

SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF, THE AIRCRAFT LOST POWER TO BOTH ENGINES AND CRASHED INTO A WOODED FIELD APPROXIMATELY 1.07 MILES FROM THE END OF RUNWAY 25 AT LAWRENCEVILLE AIRPORT (LZU).  JUST PRIOR TO IMPACT, THE PILOT RADIOED LZU TOWER REPORTING LOSS OF POWER TO BOTH ENGINES AND DECLARED AN EMERGENCY.  WITNESSES ON BOARD THE AIRCRAFT STATED THAT THE RIGHT ENGINE LOST POWER JUST AFTER TAKEOFF, FOLLOWED SHORTLY THEREAFTER BY LOSS OF POWER TO THE LEFT ENGINE.  THE AIRCRAFT LANDED HARD AT THE EDGE OF A POND AND SMALL OPEN FIELD THEN SLID INTO A LINE OF TREES.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS DESTROYED BY POST IMPACT FIRE.  THE PILOT DID NOT SURVIVE THE CRASH.  THE THREE PASSENGERS DID SURVIVE WITH INJURIES.
