## Narrative

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

AFTER LANDING AND DURING ROLL-OUT, AIRCRAFT'S ENGINE CEASED OPERATION. PILOT MAINTAINED CONTROL AND WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE RUNWAY, THEN ATTEMPTED TO RE-START THE ENGINE. ENGINE RESTARTED BUT PILOT FOUND THAT POWER HAD TO BE MAINTAINED AT OR NEAR FULL POWER FOR CONTINUED ENGINE OPERATION. PILOT WAS ABLE TO TAXI THE AIRCRAFT SAFELY TO A PARKING SPOT, STOP THE AIRCRAFT, AND SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE.

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.
