## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT FILED A VISUAL FLIGHT PLAN TO AN AIRPORT APPROX 100 MILES FROM DEPARTURE AIRPORT AND WAS RETURNING TO DESTINATION, WITHOUT REFUELING. HE WAS MANEUVERING AROUND WEATHER, WHEN THE ENGINE QUIT. HE MADE AN EMERGENCY LANDING IN A PASTURE FIELD WITHOUT ANY APPARENT DAMAGE OR INJURIES. INVESTIGATION OF THE AIRCRAFT INDICATED FUEL EXHAUSTION. HE SAID THE TANKS WERE ALMOST FULL PRIOR TO DEPARTURE, BUT HE DID NOT CHECK THEM AGAIN BEFORE THE RETURN FLIGHT. HE FILED FOR A TOTAL ESTIMATED TIME ENROUTE OF 3 HOURS 30 MINUTES WITH 4 HOURS ESTIMATED FUEL ON BOARD.

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.
