What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
While en route from khyi to 3R9, the aircraft experienced a power loss and landed on highway 290 west of Austin, TX. No damage occurred to the aircraft, nor to any persons or property on the ground during the landing sequence. The pilot conveyed that the power loss occurred as they made the 10-mile radio call inbound to 3R9, at 1900 feet AGL, when the engine began to sputter and the propeller started windmilling. The pilot adjusted the fuel mixture, turned on the boost pumps, and switched fuel tanks. Presented with three options for a landing area—an area covered in dense trees, a narrow dirt road lined with trees, and the highway—the pilot chose the highway to land on, using inertia and energy management techniques to safely land the aircraft between vehicles traveling on the highway.
