## Narrative

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

ON CLIMB OUT, JUST AFTER SEEING A POSITIVE RATE OF CLIMB AND SELECTING GEAR UP THE PILOT NOTICED A LOSS OF POWER AND THE AIRCRAFT BEGINNING TO SINK. THE PILOT OBSERVED A ZERO TORQUE INDICATION AND PUSHED THE NOSE OF THE AIRCRAFT DOWN TO GET BACK ON THE GROUND DUE TO THE ENGINE NOT PRODUCING POWER. THE AIRCRAFT CLIMBED TO APPROXIMATELY 75 FEET AND THE PILOT DIDN?T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO LOWER THE LANDING GEAR SUBSEQUENTLY THE AIRCRAFT LANDED ON THE BELLY AND SLID OFF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY. AFTER THE AIRCRAFT STOPPED MOVING THE PILOT AND PASSENGER THE EXITED THE AIRCRAFT. NO ONE SUSTAINED ANY INJURIES DURING THE INCIDENT.

THE AIRCRAFT WAS INSPECTED ONCE IT WAS REMOVED FROM THE AREA NEAR THE  RUNWAY . THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED MINIMAL DAMAGE. THE ITEMS THAT SUSTAINED DAMAGE DURING THE LANDING ARE AS FOLLOWS PROPELLER, RADAR POND ON RIGHT WING, ANTENNAS ON THE BELLY AND A 15-INCH-BY-15-INCH PORTION OF THE SKIN BY THE PASSENGER DOOR AT THE REAR OF THE AIRCRAFT.

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.
