## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT FORCED TO EMERGENCY LAND AFTER ENGINE QUIT DURING LANDING.  AIRCRAFT IS AN AMATEUR BUILT GYRO PLANE.  THE ENGINE WAS A SUBURU WITH SINGLE COIL IGNITION SYSTEM.  POST-LANDING INSPECTION REVEALED THE COIL WIRE TERMINAL LUG BROKE OFF THE COIL WHICH TERMINATED IGNITION.  OPERATOR STATED HE ALWAYS CHECKS THESE CONNECTIONS DURING PRE-FLIGHTS BY GRASPING THEM FOR SECURITY CHECK.
