## Narrative

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

THE PIC AND ANOTHER NONCERTIFICATED PASSENGER WERE DOING RUN UPS AND TAXI CHECKS ON THE PRIVATE GRASS 2350FT AIRSTRIP BEHIND THE PIC?S HOUSE.  THEY HAD BEEN PERFORMING STRAIGHT UP AND DOWNS, GOING AIRBORNE FOR A FEW HUNDRED FEET AND SETTING THE AIRCRAFT BACK DOWN ON THE RUNWAY.  THE WEATHER WAS GOOD, THE FIELDS TO THE SIDES OF THE RUNWAY WERE MUDDY AND HAD STANDING WATER IN SOME PLACES.  AFTER ABOUT 20 SHORT AND STRAIGHT FLIGHTS THE PIC DECIDED TO GO AIRBORNE PARALLEL TO THE AIRSTRIP WITH THE PLAN THAT HE WOULD MAKE A LEFT 180 TURN AND LAND BACK ON THE AIRSTRIP.  FLYING ALONG ABOUT 50 FEET OVER THE GROUND THE AIRCRAFT ENGINE LOST POWER, THE AIRPLANE WENT STRAIGHT AHEAD AND HAD A HARD LANDING IN THE CUT CORNFIELD.  THE AIRCRAFT HAD RUN OUT OF GAS LEADING TO THE POWER FAILURE.  WITH TWO ADULT MALES WELL OVER 200LBS EACH THIS AIRCRAFT WAS BEING OPERATED VERY NEAR TO MAX GROSS WEIGHT.  THE FRAME WAS BROKEN IN MANY PLACES, SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE LEFT WING AND IT?S SUPPORTING STRUTS, AND NOSE GEAR WAS TORE OFF.

## NTSB investigation

None matched to this report by aircraft and date. Search the NTSB's own records: https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-main-public/basic-search

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.
