## Narrative

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

(-23) AIRCRAFT FUEL TO CAPACITY (APPROX. 110 GALLONS) AT LONGMONT (2V2) JUST PRIOR TO DEPARTURE. APPROXIMATELY 45 MINUTES AFTER THE INITIAL TAKEOFF THE FUEL LOW PRESSURE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. FUEL PRESSURE INDICATED ZERO. AT THIS POINT LEFT TANK INDICATED FULL AND RIGHT TANK APPROX 30 GALLONS. AFTER POWER LOSS THE PILOT ^PRIVACY ^ TRIED TO RESTORE FUEL PRESSURE BY OPERATING THE WOBBLE PUMP, SELECTING THE LEFT TANK AND BY CHANGING THROTTLE AND MIXTURE LEVER POSITION. FUEL PRESSURE REMAINED AT ZERO AT ALL TIMES. DUE TO MUD, SNOW, DITCHES AND POWER LINES THERE WERE NO SUITABLE LOCATIONS TO ATTEMPT A GEAR DOWN LANDING, THE PILOT ^PRIVACY ^ ELECTED TO MAKE A GEAR UP LANDING IN A SNOW COVERED WHEAT FIELD TO AVOID FLIPPING THE AIRCRAFT ON ITS BACK. (-23 AMENDMENT) 3/29/07: UPON TEAR DOWN OF FUEL PUMP P/N U-D-2175-A, FOUND THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR FAILED, BEING UNABLE TO REGULATE, BY-PASSING FUEL, NOT SUPPLYING FUEL TO ENGINE.

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.
