## Narrative

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

DURING APPROACH TO STUART WITHAM AIRPORT THE AIRCRAFT SUDDENLY PITCHED UP AND TO THE LEFT WITHOUT CONTROL INPUT. PILOT WAS ABLE TO CONTROL AIRCRAFT WITH FORWARD STICK AND VARIABLE POWER TO MAKE A FORCED LANDING IN A FIELD APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES WEST OF THE AIRPORT. PILOT INSPECTED THE AIRCRAFT AFTER LANDING AND FOUND THAT ONE OF THE UPPER HORIZONTAL STABILIZER SUPPORT CABLES WAS SEVERED. AIRCRAFT DID NOT SUSTAIN DAMAGE AS A RESULT OF THE FORCED LANDING.

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.
