## Narrative

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

HOUR INTO THE FLIGHT PILOT NOTICED AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND TURNED OFF ALTERNATOR AND MASTER POWER SWITCH. THE PILOT TURNED POWER BACK ON EVERY 10 MINUTES TO CHECK ENGINE INSTRUMENTS AND FUEL. THE ENGINE BEGAN RUNNING ROUGH AND THE ENGINE QUIT RUNNING (PROPELLER WINDMILLING BUT NO POWER) AFTER 30 SECONDS OF ROUGH RUNNING. POWER OUT CHECKLIST WAS PERFORMED AND PILOT DETERMINED THAT HE WAS NOT GOING TO MAKE BALDWIN COUNTY AIRPORT (MLJ). AT 4000 MSL AND MLJ UNREACHABLE PILOT LOOKED FOR AN ALTERNATE LANDING AREA. THE PILOT SELECTED A FOUR LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY AND UPON APPROACH HIT A CONCRETE ELECTRICAL POLE SUPPORT CABLE WITH THE PROP AND CAUSED THE AIRCRAFT TO TOUCH DOWN HARD.

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.
