## Narrative

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

PILOT (CANADIAN CERTIFCATED) MADE PRECAUTIONARY EMERGENCY LANDING IN A FIELD APPROXIMATELY 6.25 MILES NE OF ILM DUE TO ENGINE AND ROTOR OVERSPEED INDICATION. 2 PERSONS ON BOARD. NO INJURIES OR DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT.

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.
