## Narrative

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

PILOT FLEW SEVERAL TOUCH AND GO OPERATIONS AT ASHLAND AIRPORT AND THEN DEPARTED THE AIRPORT TO THE EAST FOR SIGHTSEEING.  HE WAS IN CRUISE FLIGHT 3 TO 4 MILES FROM THE AIRPORT AT 1000 FEET AGL.  THE ENGINE LOST ALL POWER AND ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ SET UP TO LAND GOING UPHILL IN SOME UNEVEN TERRAIN.  HE BOUNCED THREE TIMES AND ON THE THIRD BOUNCE, THE FRONT LANDING GEAR STRUCTURE FOLDED UNDER AND TRAPPED THE PILOT IN THE AIRCRAFT, UNHURT.  PILOT THOUGHT HE WAS FLYING UNDER PART 103.  HE WAS UNDER PART 91 AND THEREFORE NOT PROPERLY CERTIFICATED.

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.
