## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT PERFORMED PREFLIGHT RUN UP, ALL SYSTEMS CHECKED GOOD, ALL GAUGES WERE IN THE GREEN. AIRCRAFT DEPARTED RUNWAY 9. SHORTLY AFTER DEPARTURE THE PILOT FELT WHAT WAS DESCRIBED AS A "MISS" IN THE ENGINE. PILOT BEGAN TO TURN BACK TO LAND AT THE AIRPORT WHEN THE ENGINE BEGAN RUNNING ROUGHLY AND WOULD NOT PRODUCE FULL POWER. PILOT ELECTED TO LAND IN A BEAN FIELD NORTH OF THE RUNWAY. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT AND NO INJURIES TO THE OCCUPANTS. AFTER REMOVING THE ENGINE COWLING, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE AIR INTAKE SLEEVE CONNECTING THE RIGHT SIDE CARBURETOR TO THE INTAKE AIR PLENUM HAD DETACHED FROM THE INTAKE AIR PLENUM. INTAKE SLEEVE WAS REATTACHED AND A FULL POWER ENGINE RUN WAS PERFORMED WITH NO ISSUES. INTAKE SLEEVE WAS REPLACED WITH A LONGER SLEEVE TO PREVENT DETACHMENT.

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.
