## Narrative

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

PILOT STATED HE PULLED THE CARBURETOR HEAT AND ADJUSTED THE MIXTURE, BUT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO LOSE POWER, EVENTUALLY QUITTING.   AT AN ALTITUDE OF APPROXIMATELY 1200 FEET THE PILOT ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE ENGINE WITHOUT SUCCESS.  THE PILOT CRASH LANDED THE CESSNA 150 IN THE TUNDRA.  AS THE NOSE LANDING GEAR CONTACTED THE EARTH THE AIRCRAFT STARTED TO FLIP OVER AND ENDED UP ON ITS BACK.  NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. PILOT JUST RECEIVED HIS PRIVATE LICENSE, HE DOES NOT HAVE A CERTIFICATE NUMBER ISSUED.

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.
