## Narrative

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

ON JUNE 14, 2010, DURING TAKEOFF FROM THE BURNET AIRPORT AT APPROXIMATELY 5500 MSL THE ENGINE LOST POWER. AN EMERGENCY LANDING, WITH THE GEAR UP, WAS EXECUTED INTO A CORNFIELD NEAR LIBERTY HILL, TX. ALL THREE OCCUPANTS WERE NOT INJURED.  BECAUSE OF THE CORN STALKS, A GOOD VISUAL INSPECTION TO DETERMINE THE SEVERITY OF THE DAMAGE COULD NOT BE ACCOMPLISHED AT THIS TIME.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS TRANSPORTED TO AIR SALVAGE OF DALLAS AND AN INVESTIGATION WAS ACCOMPLISHED ON THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT.  ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ DID THE OVERSIGHT FOR THE FSDO AND FOUND THAT THE FUEL FILTER BOWL AND SCREEN ASSEMBLY, GASCOLATOR HOUSING, WAS DEFORMED ALLOWING THE RETAINER TO WORK LOOSE FROM THE ASSEMBLY ALLOWING THE ENGINE FUEL PUMP TO SUCK AIR, MAKING THE ENGINE QUIT RUNNING.

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.
