## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: PILOT AND ONE PASSENGER DEPARTED CANON CITY, CO, ON A VFR FLIGHT TO SAN ANGELO, TEXAS. AFTER DEPARTING CANON CITY, CO, THE PILOT TRIED TO CONTACT FSS TO FILE A FLIGHT PLAN BUT THE RADIO WAS INOPERATIVE. THE PILOT CONTINUED THE FLIGHT TO EAST OF LUBBOCK, TEXAS, WHERE HE BECAME DISORIENTED AND DECIDED TO FIND AN AIRPORT AND BUY FUEL. AT THIS POINT HE ATTEMPTED TWO APPROACHES TO KNOX CITY, AND ON THE SECOND GO-AROUND, WHILE BANKING TO THE LEFT, THE ENGINE QUIT DUE TO FUEL STARVATION. THIS FORCED THE PILOT TO LAND APPROXIMATELY 100 YARDS WEST OF THE RUNWAY CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT. THIS INVESTIGATION IS CLOSED. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^

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.
