What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
3000 Feet and 100 yards past the tower N6152M seemed to lose power. The pilot checked the oil pressure and temp and everything looked good, power came back but the pilot had already called the tower for an emergency landing. The pilot was going to land on 30 right but had seen an open area ahead and lowered the flaps to land in the open area instead. He put it down midway on the apron applied brakes and was steering to avoid the obsticles, hit the airport fence and flipped upside down on thunderbird field road. There were no injuries.
