## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: PILOT STATED: AT ROTATION PILOT NOTICED OIL PRESSURE AT ZERO. A STRAIGHT AHEAD EMERGENCY LANDING WAS INITIATED. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED ON THE RUNWAY BUT WAS UNABLE TO STOP BEFORE RUNNING OFF THE END, INTO A FENCE. THE PILOT WAS NOT INJURED. THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO BOTH WINGS (FROM FENCE POSTS), LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR, PROPELLER AND TAILWHEEL. THERE WAS NO FIRE. INSPECTION OF THE AIRCRAFT DISCLOSED THAT THE ELECTRICAL OIL PRESSURE SENDING UNIT FAILED CAUSING A FALSE INDICATION. THIS INCIDENT CLOSED.

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.
