## Narrative

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

WHILE ON APPROACH TO RUNWAY 32 AT X39 PILOT ADVANCED MIXTURE IN SUCH A MANNER TO CAUSE THE AIRCRAFT ENGINE TO LOSE POWER RESULTING IN AN EMERGENCY LANDING ON A ROAD NEAR THE AIRPORT. THE AREA WAS EXPERIENCING UNSEASONALLY COLD TEMPERATURES AT THE TIME AND CARBEURATOR ICE TO FORM. UPON LANDING THE RIGHT WIN IMPACTED A SMALLL TREE ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. AFTER APPROXIMATELY ONE AND ONE-HALF HOURS THE PILOT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE WITH NO DIFICULTIES TO TAXI OUT OF THE TRAFFIC LANES.

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.
