## Narrative

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

PILOT STATED HIS AIRCRAFT SUFFERED AN ENGINE FAILURE SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF AT APPROXIMATELY 75 FEET AGL DUE TO POSSIBLE OIL STARVATION AND WAS FORCED TO EXECUTE AN EMERGENCY LANDING WITHOUT POWER.

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.
