## Narrative

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

(-23) AIRCRAFT WAS ON FINAL APPROACH TO RUNWAY 15 WHEN THE ENGINE QUIT. THE PILOT SAID IT SEEMED TO BE FUEL STARVATION, BUT STATED IT WAS TOO LATE (TOO CLOSE TO THE GROUND) FOR HIM TO DIVERT HIS ATTENTION TO SWITCHING OVER THE FUEL TANKS AND HE FORCE LANDED APPROXIMATELY 1000 FEET SHORT OF THE RUNWAY. AFTERWARDS, HE CHECKED THE QUANTITY IN THE TANK AND IT MEASURED APPROXIMATELY FIVE GALLONS, ABOUT THIRTY MINUTES FLYING 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.
