## Narrative

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

THE PILOT STATED THEY DEPARTED TO INSPECT THE PIPELINE IN THE KANSAS CITY AREA.  WHILE FLYING ON THE PIPELINE THE ENGINE LOST POWER ON ONE CYLINDER, BUT THE ENGINE WAS STILL OPERATIVE.  THE PILOT IMMEDIATELY TRIED LOCATING THE NEAREST AIRPORT, WHICH WAS SIX MILES TO THE NORTH OF THEIR POSITION.  APPROXIMATELY FOUR MILES FROM THE AIRPORT THE PILOT AND THE PASSENGER DECIDED THEY DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO MAKE IT TO THE DESTINATION AIRPORT.  THE PILOT LOCATED AN EAST/WEST ROAD THAT WAS FREE OF OBSTRUCTIONS SO THAT THEY COULD LAND INTO THE WIND, WHICH WAS OUT OF THE WEST.  THE PLANE LANDED WITHOUT ANY DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT, OCCUPANTS, OR PROPERTY.  THE ENGINE HAD 2242.67 HRS. SMOH.

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.
