## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: FOLLOWING 2.2 HOURS LOCAL FLYING THE ENGINE QUIT AT APPROX. 500 FT AGL DURING CLIMB OUT FOLLOWING A TOUCH & GO LANDING ON THE FAIRBANKS SKI STRIP 1R. A SUCCESSFUL STRAIGHT AHEAD LANDING WAS MADE IN SNOW TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF 1R WITH NO DAMAGE OR INJURY. THE INVESTIGATION OF THIS MATTER REVEALED THE LEFT FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY ALTHOUGH THE GAGE READ SLIGHTLY ABOVE EMPTY. THE RIGHT TANK WAS 3/4 FULL, THE LEFT TANK WAS SELECTED.

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.
