From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.
What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Pilot departed from baton rouge la on an IFR flight plan to austin executive, TX (kedc). Weather was VMC. Cruise altitude was 6000 feet with no adverse weather or turbulence. On approach to kedc pilot reduced power to idle to both lose altitude and reduce airspeed to configure for landing. While beginning base turn, pilot attempted to add power but got no response from the throttle. After some quick troubleshooting did not resolve the issue, pilot executed an emergency landing in a corn field 2 miles from kedc. Aircraft damage was minor and no injuries were reported. Approximately 15 gallons of fuel remained on board. No post crash fire.
