## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: N3207V PERFORMED A PARTIAL POWER LANDING APPROXIMATELY 3 MILES FROM THE BOWLING GREEN AIRPORT. UPON INVESTIGATION IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT THE AIRCRAFT CONSUMED FUEL IN EXCESS OF FLIGHT MANUAL CONSUMPTION RATES. LOW FUEL SUPPLY CAUSED THE ENGINE TO RUN ROUGH CAUSING THE PILOT TO MAKE A PRECAUTIONARY LANDING IN A FIELD. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE PLANE, PERSONS OR PROPERTY. AIRCRAFT WAS INSPECTED, REFUELED AND FLOWN TO THE BOWLING GREEN AIRPORT WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. FURTHER INSPECTIONS AT THE BOWLING GREEN AIRPORT FOUND NO PROBLEMS WITH THE AIRCRAFT. THE PILOT HAS 300 HOURS IN CESSNA-150'S. HOWEVER, HE HAD JUST PURCHASED THIS AIRCRAFT AND WAS UNFAMILIAR WITH IT'S PARTICULAR FUEL CONSUMPTION WHICH WAS HIGHER THAN THE AIRCRAFT MANUAL. THIS LED TO THE PRECAUTIONARY LANDING.

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.
