## Narrative

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

(-23)AIRCRAFT WAS ON LEFT BASE OF RUNWAY 27L, (TAMIMI AIRPORT) WHEN ENGINE LOST POWER. THE PILOT LANDED  IN SMALL LAKE JUST SOUTHEAST OF AIRPORT.  THE PILOT STATED THAT HE FAILED TO TRACK FUEL AND DID NOT SWITCH TO THE RIGHT FUEL TANK WHEN THE FUEL IN THE LEFT TANK WAS EXHUSTED.

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.
