## Narrative

THE PILOT LANDED THE AIRCRAFT ON A HIGHWAY MEDIAN IN WILLISTON, FL.  THE PILOT?S FINAL DESTINATION WAS WILLISTON MUNICIPAL AIRPORT.  VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED AT THE TIME AND A VFR FLIGHT PLAN WAS NOT FILED.  THE PILOT STATED THE ENGINE STOPPED MAKING POWER AND HE ELECTED TO LAND ON THE MEDIUM OF THE HIGHWAY. THE PILOT HAD AN UNEVENTFUL LANDING AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS NOT DAMAGED AND THE PILOT WAS NOT INJURIED.

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.
