## Narrative

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

(-23) ON MARCH 6, 2003 AT 1635 CST, A BEECH BE-35, N887M, MADE AN EMERGENCY GEAR UP LANDING IN A GRASS FIELD 3 MILES SOUTHEAST OF OZARK, AR. THE PILOT REPORTED TO FSM ATC THAT HE HAD A LOSS OF FUEL PRESSURE AND THE EMERGENCY WOBBLE PUMP DID NOT HELP GAIN FUEL PRESSURE. THE ENGINE LOST POWER AT CRUISE FLIGHT AND THE SOLE OCCUPANT MADE A FORCED GEAR UP LANDING UNDER VFR CONDTIONS. THE PRIVATE PILOT DID NOT FILE A FLIGHT PLAN. THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST AT A HEADING OF 190 DEGREES. THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE TO THE UNDERCARRIAGE. THE PROPELLER TIPS WERE BENT BACK WITH A LARGE RADIUS CURVE DURING CONTACT. THE RETRACTED FLAPS WERE DAMAGED INBOARD ON BOTH SIDES DURING THE GEAR UP LANDING. NO POST FIRE HAD OCCURRED. NO INJURIES REPORTED. THE RIGHT AND LEFT MAIN FUEL TANKS WERE 95% FULL. THE RIGHT AUX FUEL TANK WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY WHILE LEFT AUX FUEL TANK WAS 1/2 FULL. NO AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE OR A CURRENT REGISTRATION WAS ON BOARD. THE FUEL SYSTEM WAS EXAMINED BY DAWSON AIRCRAFT WITHOUT FAA BEING PRESENT. IT WAS DETERMINED THE ENGINE WOULD RUN AND THE FUEL LINES WERE NOT BLOCKED. FUEL STARVATION MAY HAVE OCCURRED WHILE FUEL SELECTOR VALVE WAS LEFT ON THE RIGHT AUX TANK DURINGCRUISE FLIGHT.
