The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On October 16 2012 at 1558 EDT a Challenger II, experimental amateur built aircraft registered to privacy data omitted lost power in the engine and landed in an open field sustaining minor damage to the landing gear tension cables.
Visual meteorlogical conditions prevailed at the time.
No injuries reported.
Pilot stated that the fuel on board is a mix of auto gas and 100LL. He stated that he buys whatever fuel is available at the airport he lands at.
