## Narrative

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

(-23)ON 14 APRIL 2001 AT DANE COUNTY REGIONAL AIRPORT, MADISON, WI, A CESSNA 152 FLOWN BY ^PRIVACY DATA OMI^ MADE A FORCED LANDING DUE TO FUEL EXHAUSTION. THE AIRCRAFT WAS 8 MILES NORTH EAST OF THE AIRPORT WHEN THE PILOT REPORTED A ROUGH RUNNING ENGINE.  THE APPROACH CONTROLLER INSTRUCED THE PILOT TO FLY HEADING 210 AND ONCE ON THE HEADING THE PILOT SAW THE AIRPORT, COMMENCED THE APPROACH AND RECEIVED CLEARENCE TO LAND.  ON ABOUT A TWO MILE FINAL THE ENGINE AND PROPELLER STOPPED COMPLETELY, THE AIRCRAFT LANDED NORMALLY WITHOUT INCIDENT.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS TOWED TO THE RAMP. WHEN THE AIRCRAFT WAS FUELED IT TOOK 26 GALLONS TO TOP IT OFF.  THE FLIGHT MANUAL SAY THAT THIS MODEL AIRCRAFT HOLDS 26 GALLONS OF FUEL TOTAL, OF WHICH 24.5 ARE USABLE.

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.
