## Narrative

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

ON 04/30/2023 AIRCRAFT WAS AT 7000 FEET MSL WHEN THE MANIFOLD PRESSURE GUAGE BEGAN TO SHOW A RAPID INCREASE FOR UNKNOWN REASONS. THE PILOT REDUCED POWER TO KEEP THE MAINFOLD PRESSURE FROM EXCEEDING LIMITS. THIS REDUCTION IN POWER DID NOT ALLOW THE PILOT TO MAINTAIN LEVEL FLIGHT SO THE PILOT ELECTED TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY LANDING AT KMLB. DURING THE LANDING THE PILOT LANDED HARD AND THE AIRCRAFT EXPERIENCED MINOR DAMAGE TO THE LEFT GEAR LEG AND BREAK ASSEMBLY. THE PILOT WAS THE SOLE OCCUPANT OF THE AIRCRAFT AND EXPERIENCED NO INJURIES.

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.
