## Narrative

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

APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES AFTER TAKE OFF, ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ NOTICED THAT THE FUEL PRESURE LOW PRESSURE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED.  HE TURNED ON THE AUX FUEL PUMP AND THE FUEL PRESSURE RECOVERED FOR ABOUT 60 SECONDS THEN DROPPED OFF AGAIN.  SECONDS LATER THE ENGINE FAILED.  ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ SET UP FOR A NORMAL VFR PATTERN WITH INTENTIONS OF LANDING SOUTHBOUND ON S.R. 31.  THE APPROACH AND LANDING WAS NORMAL, HOWEVER, DURING ROLLOUT, RAN OFF THE PAVEMENT INTO A DITCH AND HIT A BARBED WIRE FENCE.

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.
