(-23) THE TURBO ARROW III WAS ENROUTE TO ELLINGTON FIELD, TX (EFD) FROM HARRISONVILLE, MO (LRY) IN IMC CONDITIONS, ON A NIGHT ILS APPROACH TO RUNWAY 17R WHEN THE PILOT REPORTED TO APPROACH CONTROL THAT ENGINE POWER HAD BEEN LOST AND AN EMERGENCY LANDING WAS EXECUTED. THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST 14 MILES NE OF THE AIRPORT ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE US HIGHWAY 90 MEDIAN, APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE NE OF THE SHELDON, TX EXIT. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITH THE LANDING GEAR RETRACTED, RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THE PROPELLER AND AIRCRAFT ACCESS STEP. INSPECTION OF THE AIRCRAFT WING TANKS SHOWED NO VISIBLE FUEL IN THE WING TANKS AND THE FUEL TANK SELECTOR WAS SET TO THE RIGHT HAND TANK. A VISUAL CHECK OF THE ENGINE OIL QUANTITY SHOWED 5 QUARTS OF OIL. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION IT WAS FOUND THAT THE RIGHT HAND FUEL TANK CONTAINED APPROXIMATELY 7 GALLONS OF FUEL AND THE LEFT SIDE ONLY 1/2 GALLON. THE FUEL FILTER BOWL WAS FOUND TO BE FULL BUT THE SUPPLY LINE TO THE FLOW DIVIDER FOR THE NOZZLES HAD NO EVIDENCE OF FUEL.

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.
