## Narrative

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

THE PILOT ELECTED TO SHUT DOWN AND FEATHER THE LEFT ENGINE AND ATTEMPTED TO DEVERT TO COU (COLUMBIA, MO). THE RIGHT ENGINE THEN LOST POWER AND THE AIRCRAFT COULD NOT MAINTAIN ALTITUDE. THE PILOT MADE A FORCED LANDING INTO A BEAN FIELD.
