## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: ON FEBRUARY 9, 1994, PILOT DOUGLAS BRADLEY AND ONE PASSENGER DEPARTED MARSHALL, MINNESOTA FOR SALINA, KANSAS IN A CESSNA 210. DURING THE DESCENT FOR SALINA MUNICIPAL AIRPORT, SALINA, KANSAS THE PILOT EXPERIENCED ENGINE STOPPAGE AND PERFORMED AN EMERGENCY GEAR-UP LANDING IN A FIELD 3.5 MILES NORTH OF THE AIRPORT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND ONLY MINOR DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT. FAA ARRIVED ON THE SCENE FEBRUARY 10, 1994. DURING THE INVESTIGATION IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE MAIN FUEL FILTER HOUSING HAD ICED UP CAUSING FUEL STARVATION TO THE ENGINE. THERE WAS NO PRESENCE OF WATER OR ICE IN THE REMAINING 6 GALLONS OF FUEL CONTAINED IN THE WING FUEL TANKS AND HEADER TANKS. THE PILOT DID NOT NOTICE ANY PRESENCE OF WATER WHEN THE FUEL SUMPS WERE DRAINED PRIOR TO FLIGHT.

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.
