## Narrative

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

ON NOVEMBER 14, 2023, THIS AIRCRAFT WAS ENROUTE TO KOLE AIRPORT, AT ABOUT 1620 LOCAL TIME, AT AN ALTITUDE OF 3500 FT AGL. HE WAS ABOUT 20 MILES SOUTHWEST OF THE AIRPORT WHEN THE ENGINE BEGAN TO VIBRATE AND THE PILOT REDUCED POWER. THE VIBRATION CONTINUED TO INCREASE UNTIL THE PROPELLER, WITH THE PROPELLER HUB, DEPARTED THE AIRCRAFT. THE PILOT LOCATED A TWO LANE ROAD AND MADE AN EMERGENCY LANDING WITHOUT ANY INCIDENT. NO OBJECTS WERE HIT AND NO DAMGER WAS DONE TO THE AIRCRAFT. THE PILOT WAS NOT INJURED. THE PROPELLER AND HUB ASSEMBLY WERE NOT FOUND.

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.
