## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT STATED HE TOOK OFF FROM KBJC WITH 2 PASSENGERS AND APPROXIMATELY 10 GALLONS OF GAS REMAINING IN THE AIRCRAFT. WHILE ENROUTE TO HIS DESTINATION AIRPORT (KAPA), HE REALIZED HE DID NOT HAVE AN ADEQUATE AMOUNT OF FUEL TO REACH KAPA, SO HE LANDED IN A FIELD NEXT TO RISHEL MIDDLE SCHOOL IN DENVER, CO. THE PILOT STATED THAT THE ENGINE POWER "DROPPED" JUST BEFORE TOUCHDOWN, CAUSING THE AIRCRAFT TO HIT THE GROUND HARD ENOUGH TO CAUSE SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE.

## NTSB investigation

None matched to this report by aircraft and date. Search the NTSB's own records: https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-main-public/basic-search

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.
