## Narrative

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

(-23)ON APRIL 16, 2001, AT 1108E, A BE-35, S/N D-7382 AND REGISTERED AS N5624K, LANDED AT "HGL" AFTER EXPERIENCING AN ENGINE FAILURE ON APPROACH. THE PILOT REPORTED THAT, WHEN HE REDUCED POWER TO LAND, THE ENGINE QUIT PRODUCING POWER.  THE CHECKLIST WAS FOLLOWED AND THE AIRCRAFT LANDED ON THE TAXIWAY AS IT WAS CLOSEST TO HIS POSITION.  AFTER LANDING, THE ENGINE STOPPED AS HE CAME TO STOP.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THAT AIRCRAFT AND FOUND THAT THE FUEL LINE FROM THE FUEL CONTROL TO THE SPIDER WAS LOOSE.  THE LINE WAS RE-TORQUED AND OPS CHECKED, AND FLIGHT CHECKS SHOWED NO DEFECTS.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.  INVESTIGATION CLOSED.

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.
