## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: PILOT STATED THAT HE DEPARTED FORT LAUDERDALE EXEC. AIRPORT FOR ATHENS AIRPORT. THE AIRCRAFT HAD RECENTLY BEEN PURCHASED & THE PILOT DID NOT KNOW THE FUEL GAUGES DID NOT REGISTER PROPER FUEL QUANTITY. PILOT ADMITTED ERROR. (SEE ATTACHED LETTER). NO INJURIES & NO DAMAGE TO AIRCRAFT. AIRCRAFT LANDED IN A FIELD APPROX. 2 MILES SOUTH OF AIRPORT.

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.
