## Narrative

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

OFFICE ID # CE19100015, THE AIRCRAFT DEPARTED TPA WITH FULL FUEL. WHILE ENROUTE APPROXIMATELY 45 MIN. AFTER TAKE-OFF, THE AIRCRAFT STARTED EXPERIENCING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THE MAIN ELECTRICAL BUSS INDICATED ZERO CURRENT.  AFTER ENTERING THE TYS AIRSPACE, RADIO CONTACT WAS LOST. THE PILOT CONTINUED TO DKX AND REESTABLISHED RADIO COMMUNICATIONS WITH TYS APPROACH. WHILE ENROUTE TO DKX, THE AIRCRAFT LOST ENGINE POWER. THE PILOT STATED THAT HE SWITCHED TANKS SEVERAL TIMES, BUT COULD NOT RESTART THE ENGINE. THE FUEL BOOST PUMP AND FLAPS WERE INOPERATIVE DUE TO THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.  WHILE LANDING, ON RUNWAY 28 AT DKX, WITHOUT ENGINE POWER OR FLAPS. THE PILOT STATED THAT HE TOUCHED DOWN AT A POINT 1/2 TO 3/4 DOWN THE RUNWAY.  THE PILOT COULD NOT STOP THE AIRCRAFT ON THE RUNWAY OR IN THE CLEAR ZONE. THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST IN THE TENNESSEE RIVER.  NO INJURIES TO PILOT OR PASSENGER.

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.
