## Narrative

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

THE AIRCRAFT LOST POWER ON BOTH ENGINES, RESULTING IN A FORCED LANDING. INVESTIGATION YIELDED NO FUEL CONTAMINATION OR MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION. FUEL GAUGES INDICATED APPROXIMATELY 150LBS. OF FUEL IN LEFT SIDE AND 200 ON THE RIGHT SIDE HAVE TRANSFER PUMPS TO MOVE FUEL TO THE NACELLE TANKS. THE PILOT OPERATING MANUAL STATES THAT THE WINGS WILL GRAVITY FEED THE NACELLES UP TO 28 GALLONS REMAINING IN THE WING TANKS. DURING THE INVESTIGATION, NO MECHANICAL PROBLEMS WERE FOUND WITH THE TRANSFER PUMPS. UPON TURNING THE PUMPS ON, THE REMAINING 28 GALLONS BEGAN BEGAN MOVEMENT TO THE NACELLES, FILTERS WERE CHECKED CLEAN, AND THE ENGINES OPERATED NORMALLY. ^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.
