Jun 28, 1982 · Graham, TX
WHILE DESCENDING THROUGH ABOUT 2800 FT AGL TO LAND, THE ENGINE LOST POWER. THE PILOT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND ELECTED TO LAND IN AN OAT FIELD WITH OATS ABOUT 2 TO 3 FT HIGH. THE PILOT REPORTED THAT DURING THE LANDING ROLL, THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED AFTER THE AIRCRAFT ENCOUNTERED THE OATS AND SOFT TERRAIN. NO PREIMPACT, MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION OR FAILURE WAS VERIFIED.
These match the airframe or engine model. Whether each one applies, and whether it's been complied with, depends on serial numbers, equipment and logbook entries. Applicability must be confirmed by a mechanic against the aircraft's records.
