## Narrative

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

ON TAKE OFF FROM RANCH TEHAMA, CA AIRPORT, THE PILOT EXPERIENCED A PARTIAL LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. AS HE WAS STILL OVER THE RUNWAY, HE ELECTED TO LAND, HOWEVER, DURING THE LANDING ROLL THE AIRCRAFT WENT OFF THE END OF THE DEPARTURE RUNWAY (09) AND INTO THE OVERRUN AREA. AS IT ENTERED THE OVERRUN AREA, THE AIRPLANE'S LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR COLLIDED WITH A PORTION OF FENCING. THE IMPACT FORCE SEPARATED THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR FROM THE AIRCRAFT AND SUBSEQUENT INERTIA CAUSED THE AIR CRAFT TO SPIN 180 DEGREES TO THE LEFT . THE LEFT WING STRUCK THE GROUND WHERE AIRCRAFT CAME TO A HALT.
