## Narrative

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

(-23) ON THIS DATE THIS AIRCRAFT WAS ON SHORT FINAL FOR RUNWAY 17 AT SKYACRES AIRPORT WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED SHORT OF THE RUNWAY CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT, NO INJURIES TO PILOT. THIS AIRCRAFT IS AN EXPERIMENTAL AMATEUR BUILT AIRCRAFT. INVESTIGATION OF THE FUEL SYSTEM REVEALED THE A ELECTRIC BOOST PUMP WAS ADDED TO THE FUEL SYSTEM. THIS BOOST PUMP WAS ABLE TO INTRODUCE AIR INTO THE FUEL SYSTEM WHEN THE FUEL TANKS ARE LOW. I SPOKE WITH THE DESIGNER OF THE AIRCRAFT AND HE FELT A BOOST PUMP WAS NOT NECESSARY FOR THIS AIRCRAFT. DURING REVIEW OF THE MAINTENANCE IT WAS NOTED THAT THE LAST CONDITION INSPECTION WAS IMPROPERLY SIGNED OFF BY A PERSON THAT WAS NOT AUTHORIZED.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System.

Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
