From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.
What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Airman stated that he ran out of fuel in his RV-8A aircraft, on his way from pecan plantation airport to Granbury to purchase fuel. He stated that he had very little fuel in his tanks before he left pecan plantation and thought he had enough to do the flight.
