## Narrative

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

(-23) AIRCRAFT LOST ELECTRICAL POWER ON RETURN NIGHT FLIGHT TO OGDEN, UT. PILOT UNSUCCESSFULLY ATTEMPTED TO REINSTATE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, THEN TURNED OFF ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO CONSERVE BATTERY BUT TOO MUCH POWER HAD BEEN USED FROM BATTERY TO RADIO SLC APPROACH CONTROL. PILOT THEN USED CELL PHONE TO CALL 911 WHICH ASSISTED HIM IN CONTACING SLC-TRACON. SINCE OGDEN CONTROL TOWER WAS CLOSED, TRACON NOTIFIED DEPARTING AIRCRAFT TO HOLD AND TURNED ON RUNWAY LIGHTS FOR THIS AIRCRAFT TO LAND. LANDING WAS UNEVENTFUL.

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.
