What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On pull up at end of field engine flamed out, pilot secured the engine by shutting off the fuel and feathering the propeller. Aircraft did not have much altitude and landed in a wheat field and then went through a barb wire fence and into a pea field. At this point the main gear was torn from the aircraft and the propeller and engine were damaged.
Fuel strainer drain was broken off so some fuel did leak out, but due to angle of the aircraft fuel was noted in the fuel tanks post accident and sample was taken with no contaminates noted
