ON SEPTEMBER 13, 2018 AT APPROXIMATELY 2:15 PM LOCAL TIME, N68PX, A CESSNA CE-180, EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER RESULTING IN AN OFF AIRPORT LANDING IN A MARSH AREA APPROXIMATELY 4 NM SOUTHEAST OF SOLDOTNA, AK.

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.
