Narrative:THE ACFT HAD RECEIVED AN INSPECTION ON 9/8/83, BEFORE IT WAS DISASSEMBLED & TRANSPORTED FROM CALIFORNIA TO ILLINOIS. ON 10/27/83, THE PLT TOOK OFF ON A FLT FROM SANDWICH TO AURORA, IL. WHILE ON A FINAL APCH TO LAND AT AURORA, AFTER A THROTTLE REDUCTION, THE ENG CEASED OPERATING. ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE ENG WERE UNSUCCESSFUL, SO THE PLT LANDED ON A ROAD.
