## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: THE PILOT FLEW FOUR LEGS ON A PERSONAL BUSINESS FLIGHT TO PAGE, AZ AND RETURNING TO NORTH LAS VEGAS AIRPORT, LOGGING 4.8 HOURS ON THE HOBBS METER. HE DEPARTED WITH FULL FUEL OF 49 GALLONS, HE PURCHASED 10 ADDITIONAL GALLONS AT ST. GEORGE, UT ON RETURN. AT MAXIMUM FUEL CONSUMPTION OF 10.1 GALLONS PER HOUR, THE AIRCRAFT SHOULD HAVE SUSTAINED FLIGHT FOR APPROXIMATELY 5.8 HOURS. PRIOR TO REACHING THE NORTH LAS AIRPORT, THE ENGINE CEASED TO OPERATE DUE TO LACK OF FUEL. THE CRUISE PERFORMANCE CHARTS INDICATE FUEL CONSUMPTION BETWEEN 10.1 GPH AT 2500 RPM AT 7500 FEET TO A MINIMUM OF 6.8 GPH AT 2100 RPM AT 7500 FEET. THE AIRPLANE WAS LANDED OFF AIRPORT WITH NO INJURIES TO PILOT OR PASSENGER, AND NO DAMAGE TO THE AIRPLANE. THE AIRCRAFT WAS INSPECTED BY A MECHANIC, REFUELED, AND FLOWN TO THE AIRPORT WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. THE PILOT WAS INTERVIEWED AND COUNSELED ON FUTURE OPERATIONS. NO NMAC REPORT FILED. THIS INVESTIGATION IS 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.
