Default Emergency landing today Troutdale, OR

Or the absence of air or igition - which are still not an 'engine problem'.
For all that is known at this point there could have a raccoon living in the
air intake, or bad wiring on an aftermarket ignition. Probability is more
likely with fuel, but a 'sputtering' engine could have been a lot of things.

So what do you think really happened? The description in the news
sure sounded like an engine problem.


I have no idea. As post by myself and several others it could be Fuel,
Pilot or Engine. That is assuming that the very short news piece we read
is even close to what really happened.
