From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

Narrative: PIC did not adequately preflight N1319E, and consequently failed to notice that the fuel tanks were nearly empty due to a leak emanating from the right wing fuel strainer. This condition rendered the airplane unairworthy. At approximately 1230 CST, PIC departed with a safety pilot aboard in order to practice instrument approaches. Approximately 10 minutes after takeoff, PIC reported to ATC that, " we're out of fuel," and an off airport landing was accomplished. Aviation fuel was dispensed into the airplane's left tank and the fuel selector valve positioned to the left tank, and the airplane was flown back to lxt. According to the safety pilots logbook, he was pilot in command for the flight to lxt. Incidentprivacy data omittedis closed.
