APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE SOUTH OF WHITEHALL, WISCONSIN LANDING IN A FIELD, COLLAPSING THE NOSE GEAR. ONE PERSON ON BOARD, NO INJURIES. VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED. INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE AIRCRAFT HAD FUEL DEPLETION. IT WAS FOUND THAT THE LEFT INBD TANK WAS EMPTY. NO FUEL CAME OUT OF THE SUMP OF THE LEFT INBD TANK OR THE ENGINE FEED LINE. THE FUEL SELECTOR WAS SELECTED FOR THE LEFT INBD TANK. AFTER THE AIRCRAFT WAS REMOVED FROM THE FIELD THE ENGINE WAS STARTED AND RAN. ALL OTHER TANKS HAD FUEL.

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.
