## Narrative

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

THE PILOT STATED THAT ABOUT AN HOUR INTO THE FLIGHT, THE ENGINE UNEXPECTEDLY LOST POWER. THE PURPOSE OF THE FLIGHT WAS TO ACCUMULATE ENGINE HOURS, SO THE OWNER COULD START TRAINING AFTER REACHING 50 HOURS ON THE RECENTLY OVERHAULED ENGINE. UNTIL THE ENGINE FAILURE, THE FLIGHT HAD BEEN UNEVENTFUL.

THEY TOOK OFF FROM KUZA AT 18:20 EST WITH AROUND 38 GALLONS OF FUEL. THE PLAN WAS TO FLY TO GREENWOOD AIRPORT (KGRD), CIRCLE OVER IT, AND RETURN TO KUZA. ABOUT 15 MINUTES AFTER TURNING BACK TO ROCK HILL, AT AN ALTITUDE OF APPROXIMATELY 2,700 TO 2,800 FEET, THE ENGINE STOPPED WITHOUT ANY WARNING SIGNS. IT NEITHER SPUTTERED NOR INDICATED ANY ISSUES.

THE PILOT NOTED THE VOLTAGE WAS HIGH, RANGING FROM 16.5 TO 17.1, AND THE COPILOT TOOK A PICTURE OF THE JPI UNIT ABOUT THREE MINUTES BEFORE THE ENGINE STOPPED. ALL OTHER MONITOR READINGS APPEARED NORMAL.
