## Narrative

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

PILOT WAS IN THE TRAFFIC PATTERN FOR THE CRESTVIEW AIRPORT (CEW) WHEN HE BEGAN HIS TURN TO BASE LEG.  AT THAT TIME THE ENGINE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER AND SPUTTER.  THE PILOT FELT THAT HE COULD NOT MAKE THE RUNWAY SO ELECTED TO LAND THE AIRCRAFT  IN A FIELD APPROXIMATELY 1/4 MILE FROM THE RUNWAY.  NO DAMAGE TO 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.
