## Narrative

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

(-23)INSPECTOR'S STATEMENT: I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL AT 8:30 PM ON 11/18/99 THAT A CESSNA 150, N63077, HAD LANDED SHORT OF THE ADDISON ARIPORT. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE SCENE AT NEARLY 10 PM, WHICH WAS AT THE NORTH END AT .5 MILES AWAY FROM THE AIRPORT, THE AIRCRAFT WAS IN A FIELD WITH SEVERE DAMAGE.  THE AIRCRAFT HAD LOST IT'S NOSE LANDING GEAR ON IMPACT, AND WAS POSITIONED IN A DITCH.  ALSO ON IMPACT, THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK A TREE WITH THE RIGHT WING AND TWISRED THE FUSELAGE AFT OF THE REAR WINDOW.  THE ARICRAFT OBTAINED OTHER SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE AT IMPACT THAT CLASSIFIED THIS AS AN ACCIDENT.  AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION OF THE SITE, WITH THE TAIL OF THE AIRCRAFT STICKING UP, I NOTICED THAT BOTH FUEL TANKS HAD LESS THAN 2 GALLONS OF FUEL ON BOARD.  THE POSITIONING OF THE AIRCRAFT FORCED ALL THE FUEL TO THE LEADING EDGES, WHICH ALLOWED ME TO CLEARLY SEE ALL THE FUEL.  A MAINTENANCE CREW HAD ARRIVED, HENLEY'S AIRCRAFT SERVICES, TO ASSIST IN THE REMOVAL OF THE AIRCRAFT.  AFTER RETRIEVING PERTINENT INFORMATION AT THE SITE, I RETURNED THE NEXT DAY TO HENLEY'S IN ADDISON TO REVIEW AIRCRAFT RECORDS AND TO TAKE PICTURES OF THE DAMAGED AIRCRAFT.  THE WINGS WERE REMOVED TO LOAD IT ON A TRUCK FOR TR ANSPORTING. I DID NOT SEE ANT DISCREPANCY WITH THE AIRCRAFT RECORDS AND FOUND NOTHING FROM AN AIRWORTHINESS STANDARD TO CAUSE A PROBLEM DURING FLIGHT.  I MADE COPIES OF PILOT RECORDS AND HAD THE PILOT, GERRY WOOTEN, FILL OUT A 6120 FORM TO SEND TO THE NTSB.  A COPY HAS BEEN REQUESTED TO BE SENT TO OUR OFFICE AS WELL.  MR. WOOTEN ALSO GAVE ME A SIGNED STATEMENT OF WHAT HE SAID HAPPENED.  MY DETERMINATION AND FURTHER INVESTIGATION OF THIS ACCIDENT IS TO TURN THIS MATTER OVER TO AN OPERATIONS INSPECTOR BECAUSE OF THE POSSIBILITY THE PILOT RUNNING OUT OF FUEL DUE TO THE EXTENDED FLIGHT FROM GAGE, OKLAHOMA.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

- [NTSB FTW00LA034](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/FTW00LA034), Nov 19, 1999: Cessna 150M (N63077), Carrolton, TX, substantial damage. Probable cause: The pilot's failure to refuel, which resulted in fuel exhaustion. A factor was the lack of suitable terrain for the forced landing.
