## Narrative

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

AFTER PERFORMING A 45 MINUTE FLIGHT, WHICH INCLUDED THREE TAKEOFFS AND LANDINGS AND SEVERAL MANEUVERS, THE PILOT LANDED AND THE PASSENGER BOARDED THE AIRCRAFT.  AFTER TAKEOFF, THE PILOT CLIMED TO PATTERN ALTITUDE AND TURNED CROSSWIND AND UPON ENTERING DOWNWIND, FELT A SLIGHT ENGINE ROUGHNESS, AND THEN THE ENGINE STOPPED.  THE PILOT REALIZED HE COULD NOT RETURN TO THE RUNWAY. AFTER CHECKING THE IGNITION AND FUEL, HE ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE ENGINE WITH NO LUCK; THE PROPELLER WOULD NOT TURN.  THE PILOT ATTEMPTED AN OFF FIELD LANDING AND THE GEAR COLLAPSED.

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.
