## Narrative

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

PILOT BEGAN HIS TRIP (PERSONAL FLIGHTS) AT HENDERSONVILLE, NC (0A7).  HE MADE A FUEL STOP AT WARREN COUNTY MUNICIPAL AIRPORT (RNC).  AFTER DEPARTING FROM RNC, HE WAS FLYING AT CRUISE ALTITUDE AND ENCOUNTERED A POWER LOSS - HIS ENGINE RPM ROLLED BACK TO IDLE.  REGARDLESS OF WHAT HE TRIED, HE COULD NOT GET THE ENGINE TO PRODUCE ANY MORE POWER.  HE LANDED ON A FARM IN THOMPSON'S STATION, TN.

HE WAS HEADED TO PARAGOULD AR (3AR9).

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.
