## Narrative

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

(-23)THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR AND HIS COMMERICAL PILOT-RATED STUDENT DEPARTED THE KANSAS CITY DOWNTOWN AIRPORT (MKC) AT 1055 CDT TO ACCOMPLISH AN AIRCRAFT CHECKOUT AND BIENNIAL FLIGHT REVIEW. THE MAIN TANK, 40 GALLON CAPACITY, WAS FULL; THE TIP TANKS, 34 GALLONS EACH, HELD NEGLIGIBLE FUEL.  AFTER ACCOMPLISHING THE FLIGHT REVIEW, INCLUDING MULTIPLE TAKEOFFS AND LANDINGS AT SEVERAL AIRPORTS, THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNING TO MKC WITH FOUR GALLONS OF FUEL INDICATING THE MAIN TANK GAUGE.  AT 1315 CDT, 13 MILES SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF MKC, THE ENGINE BEGAN TO SURGEM AND A BRIEF ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO ESTABLISH FUEL FLOW FROM THE NEGLIGIBLE FUEL REMAINING IN EACH TIP TANK.  WHEN THAT WAS UNSECCESSFUL, THE MAIN TANK WAS RE-SELECTED UNTIL THE FUEL WAS EXHAUSTED SEVERAL MOMENTS LATER.  THE AIRCRAFT MADE A SUCCESSFUL FORCED LANDING IN A CORN FIELD ADJACENT TO THE OVERLAND PARK, KANSAS, POLICE STATION.
