## Narrative

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

N2184W LANDED IN CUL-DE-SAC IN TEMECULA CA. WIND SPEED DROPPED DURING APPROACH TO LANDING AND SURFACE WINDS REVERSED 180 DEGREES TURNING N2184W AWAY FROM LANDING FIELD AND THEN N2184 HAD TO LAND IN CUL-DE-SAC.

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.
