## Narrative

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

PILOT PERFORMED LOCALLY 3 LANDINGS AND LATER DECIDED TO FLY SOUTH OVER MANATEE RIVER.  OVER THE RIVER, PILOT TURNED NORTH TO RETURN TO AIRPORT AND SUDDENLY ENGINE QUIT WITHOUT A SPUTTER.  HE WAS ABOUT 1,000 FEET AND TRIED TO RE-START THE ENGINE BUT NO RESPONSE.  AT THAT TIME PILOT DECIDED TO LOOK FOR A PLACE TO LAND NEAR SOUTH OF THE RIVER.  FOUND A FEW EMPTY LOTS FROM A CONSTRUCTION SITE WHERE HE COULD MAKE A LANDING. ABOUT 100 FEET FROM THE GROUND HE MADE A SHARP LEFT TURN TO AVOID HITTING A HOUSE NEXT TO TO EMPTY LOT.  LEFT GEAR HIT FIRST AND FOLDED. NO OTHER DAMAGE TO AIRCRAFT

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.
