## Narrative

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

(-23) WHILE ON A CROSS COUNTRY FLIGHT NEAR MARATHON, FLORIDA, THE PILOT PERFORMED AN EMERGENCY LANDING ON US HIGHWAY ONE AFTER EXHAUSTING THE AIRCRAFT'S FUEL SUPPLY. THROUGH POOR PREFLIGHT PLANNING AND IMPROPER INFLIGHT DECISION MAKING, THE PILOT EXHAUSTED THE FUEL SUPPLY OF THE AIRCRAFT.

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.
