## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT WAS CONDUCTING IFR CROSS-COUNTRY FLIGHT FROM PAGE FIELD, FORT MYERS, FL (FMY) TO WINGS FIELD, BLUE BELL, PA (LOM) VIA GEORGETOWN COUNTY, SC (GGE).  AIRCRAFT DEPARTED GGE AFTER RECEIVING 52.5 GALLONS OF FUEL. WHILE ON APPROACH INTO LOM, PILOT PERFORMED AN EMERGENCY LANDING ON A GOLF COURSE IN WAYNE, PA, 7 MILES SHORT OF THE FIELD, DUE TO ENGINE LOSS OF POWER, COMING TO REST AGAINST A TREE.  AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE FUSELAGE AND LEFT WING.

PILOT REPORTS AT 2000 FEET, HE CONFIGURED AIRCRAFT FOR DESCENT.  AS AIRCRAFT WAS DESCENDING THROUGH 1700 FEET, THE PILOT APPLIED POWER AND THERE WAS NO REACTION FROM THE ENGINE.  HE THEN APPLIED FULL POWER AND CYCLED THE THROTTLE THREE TIMES WITH NO CHANGE; HOWEVER, MOVEMENT OF THE THROTTLE WAS NORMAL.  HE HEARD ENGINE RUNNING, THOUGHT ABOUT PULLING PARACHUTE, THEN NOTICED HOUSES EVERYWHERE, SO INITIATED EMERGENCY LANDING AT THE GOLF COURSE.

PASSENGER REPORTS SHE HEARD A LOUD NOISE, AND BELIEVES IT WAS AFTER THE PILOT PULLED THE THROTTLE BACK.  SHE QUESTIONED THE PILOT, AND HE RESPONDED THAT THEY HAD LOST POWER.  PILOT INDICATED HE DID NOT HEAR THE LOUD NOISE.

BOTH PILOT AND PASSENGER REPORT BOTH LEGS OF FLIGHT WERE NORMAL, WITH ALL NORMAL INDICATIONS PRIOR TO LOSS OF POWER.  ALSO, PILOT AND PASSENGER REPORT NO INDICATIONS WERE NOTICED OUTSIDE "OF THE GREEN" DURING OR AFTER POWER LOSS.

PILOT REPORTS AIRCRAFT INDICATED AN ESTIMATED 42 GALLONS OF FUEL REMAINING AT LANDING, AND HE VISUALLY VERIFIED BOTH FUEL TANKS WERE FULL PRIOR TO DEPARTURE FROM GGE.

THIS ACCIDENT REMAINS UNDER INVESTIGATION, AND THIS REPORT MAY BE AMENDED IF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BECOMES AVAILABLE.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
