## Narrative

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

AFTER A TOUCH AND GO ON RUNWAY 27, THE ENGINE FAILED TO MAKE FULL POWER WHEN THE THROTTLE WAS ADVANCED.   AT 500 FEET, WITH THE ENGINE COUGHING AND NOT MAKING EOUGH POWER, THE PILOT DISCOVERED HE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO RETURN TO THE FIELD, AND HE ELLECTED TO MAKE A FORCED LANDING IN A BEAN FIELD.  DURING THE LANDING, THE RIGHT LANDING GEAR WAS TORN FROM THE AIRCRAFT WITH OTHER MINOR STRUCTURAL DAMAGE.

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.
