## Narrative

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

THE PILOT WAS REPOSITIONING THE AIRCRAFT FROM KRYN TO KNYL. DURING THE DESCENT INTO KNYL, WHILE REDUCING ENGINE RPM TO SLOW FOR LANDING, THE ENGINE BEGAN OPERATING ROUGHLY. THE PILOT ATTEMPTED TO RESTORE POWER; HOWEVER, THE ENGINE SUBSEQUENTLY LOST ALL POWER.

THE PILOT DECLARED A MAYDAY ON FREQUENCY 121.5 AND ELECTED TO LAND ON SOUTHBOUND ROUTE 195 IN YUMA, APPROXIMATELY TWO NAUTICAL MILES SHORT OF RUNWAY 26. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT, AVOIDED VEHICULAR TRAFFIC, AND SUSTAINED NO DAMAGE. NO PROPERTY DAMAGE OR INJURIES WERE REPORTED.

APPROXIMATELY 15 GALLONS OF FUEL REMAINED ONBOARD. SUBSEQUENT INSPECTION IDENTIFIED A FAILED FUEL LINE THAT WAS SPRAYING FUEL OVERBOARD, PREVENTING FUEL FROM REACHING THE FUEL MANIFOLD AND RESULTING IN THE ENGINE POWER LOSS.

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.
