## Narrative

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

(-23)PILOT STATED THAT HE FORGOT TO UTILIZE PRIOR TO TAKEOFF. CHECKLIST CALLS FOR THE USE OF A MAIN TANK FOR TAKEOFF.  TIP TANKS WERE USED WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO LOSE POWER.  THE AMOUNT OF ENGINE DAMAGE HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED AT THIS TIME.

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.
