## Narrative

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

ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2018, AT 1053 EST A 1947 STINSON, MODEL 108-1, N8599K THAT IS REGISTERED TO ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^, HAD AN ENGINE POWER PROBLEM DURING CRUISE FLIGHT AND THE ENGINE LOST POWER.  THE PILOT LANDED THE AIRCRAFT IN A COW PASTURE AT MAYO, FLORIDA.  THE PILOT?S FINAL DESTINATION WAS QUINCY, FL.  VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED AT THE TIME AND A VFR FLIGHT PLAN WAS NOT FILED.  THE PILOT STATED AT 1:15 MINUTES INTO THE FLIGHT, THE ENGINE COUGHED AND STARTED TO RUN ROUGH AND ENGINE OIL BEGAN TO COVER THE WINDSCREEN.  AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, THE AIRCRAFT WAS AT 4500MSL, SO THE PILOT REDUCED POWER AND STARTED TO LOOK FOR A LANDING AREA.  THE PILOT HAD AN UNEVENTFUL LANDING IN A COW PASTURE.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS NOT DAMAGED AND THE PILOT WAS NOT INJURED.  THE FLIGHT ORIGINATED AT SPRUCE KEY AIRPORT ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2018.

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.
