## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: INSTRUCTOR FAILED TO ENSURE STUDENT SELECTED CORRECT FUEL TANK. I WAS DOING A LESSON (NIGHT) WITH A STUDENT. WE TOOK OFF FROM SPRINGFIELD, OH AND WENT TO COLUMBUS, OH, THEN OVER TO DAYTON, OH. AFTER DOING 1 TOUCH AND GO WE CAME AROUND TO LAND AGAIN AND ON SHORT FINAL THE ENGINE STARTED TO SPUTTER AND WE IMMEDIATELY HIT THE FUEL PUMP AND CHECKED THE FULL VALVE AND RESTART PROCEDURES WITH NO LUCK. I TOOK OVER THE AIRCRAFT, ESTABLISHED BEST GLIDE, AND ATTEMPTED TO MAKE THE RUNWAY. DUE TO THE LOSS OF POWER AND A 16 K X-WIND, WE CAME UP SHORT AND LEFT OF THE RUNWAY. AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED MINIMAL DAMAGE AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES.

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.
