## Narrative

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

ON JANUARY 26TH, 2017, AT APPROXIMATELY 1045 HOURS MST, ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ FLYING N250CW ON A CROSS COUNTRY FLIGHT FROM KANSAS TO DENVER, CO, ADVISED ATC THAT HE WAS LOSING POWER AND NEEDED TO DIVERT TO KGLD IN GOODLAND, KS. ENROUTE THERE, HE REALIZED THAT HE WOULD NOT MAKE GOODLAND AND DIVERTED INSTEAD TO BURLINGTON, CO. EXCESSIVE ALTITUDE LOSS PROMPTED THE PILOT TO DECLARE AN EMERGENCY AND PERFORM AN OFF-FIELD LANDING. THE PILOT MADE A SUCCESSFUL OFF-FIELD LANDING APPROXIMATELY 7 MILES NORTH OF KITR, BURLINGTON, CO., REPORTING NO INJURIES AND NO DAMAGE.

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.
