## Narrative

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

PILOT CLAIMS ENGINE QUIT IN FLIGHT.  PILOT INITIATED AUTOROTATION. FLIGHT TERMINATED IN A HARD LANDING CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE SKIDS AND TAIL ROTOR.  NO INJURIES AND NO FIRE.

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.
