## Narrative

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

ON JANUARY 29, 2019 AT APPROXIMATELY 1200 CDT, THE CIRRUS SR22 WAS INVOLVED IN AN INCIDENT INVOLVING THE FAILURE OF THE ENGINE/OIL SYSTEM DURING A FLIGHT FROM BISMARCK ND (BIS) TO KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI (MKC).  AT CRUISE ALTITUDE APPROXIMATELY SEVENTEEN MILES FROM BIS, THE PILOT NOTICED THE ENGINE OIL PRESSURE APPEARED SLIGHTLY LOWER THAN NORMAL AND TURNED BACK TOWARD BIS TO HAVE MAINTENANCE CHECK THE AIRCRAFT.  OIL PRESSURE CONTINUED TO DROP BEFORE EVENTUALLY LOSING ENGINE POWER CAUSING THE PILOT?S INABILITY TO MAINTAIN ALTITUDE.  AN OFF AIRPORT LANDING WAS MADE IN A SNOW COVERED FIELD APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES FROM BIS RESULTING IN MINOR DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT.  THERE WERE NO INJURIES.

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.
