## Narrative

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

THE PILOT WAS FLYING NORTH OVER THE PEMIGEWASSET RIVER IN PLYMOUTH, NH WHEN HE ENCOUNTERED HIGH TENSION POWER LINES IN HIS PATH OF FLIGHT.  HE STATED THAT HE DID NOT HAVE THE ALTITUDE TO SUCCESSFULLY CLIMB TO CLEAR THE LINES AND DECIDED THEN TO DESCEND AND FLY UNDER THEM.  DURING THE DESCENT HE REALIZED HE WAS ABOUT TO HIT THE WATER AND DECIDED TO LAND THE AIRCRAFT ON THE RIVER BANK.  THE AIRCRAFT LANDED HARD IN BRUSH ALONG THE WEST SIDE OF THE RIVER.  THE ONLY DAMAGE EVIDENT WAS TO THE PROP TIP FROM CONTACT WITH BRUSH.

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.
