## Narrative

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

ON OCTOBER 2, 2019, AT 1200 CDT, N9840A, A CESSNA 182R MADE A FORCED LANDING ON A ROAD 10 MILES NORTHEAST OF LEA COUNTY  REGIONAL AIRPORT DUE TO ENGINE FAILURE.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS BEING OPERATED ON A PIPELINE PATROL FLIGHT.  VISUAL METEROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED AT THE TIME, AND NO VFR FLIGHT PLAN WAS FILED.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS NOT DAMAGED, AND THE PRIVATE PILOT WAS NOT INJURED.  THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS ON BOARD THE AIRCRAFT.  THE FLIGHT ORIGINATED FROM SWEETWATER, TEXAS, AND WAS FLYING TO CORTEZ, COLORADO.

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.
