## Narrative

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

ON JULY 22, 2025 AT APPROXIMATELY 15:57 LOCAL TIME, A BEECHCRAFT F33 DEPARTING KI23 EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN ENGINE FAILURE AT 3,000 FT AND 2500 RPM WITH NO GRADUAL POWER LOSS OR SPUTTERING. THE PROPELLER CONTINUED TO WINDMILL. MAGNETOS WERE CYCLED, FUEL TANK SELECTOR SWITCHED TO THE RIGHT TANK AND AN ENGINE RESTART WAS ATTEMPTED BUT UNSUCCESSFUL. A LEFT TURN TOWARD THE RUNWAY WAS INITIATED. UNABLE TO MAKE THE RUNWAY, THE DECISION WAS MADE TO LAND IN A NEARBY CORNFIELD.
