## Narrative

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

WHILE DESCENDING THE AIRCRAFT LOST POWER. DURING THE POST ACCIDENT INSPECTION, IT APPEARS THE AIRCRAFT FUEL SYSTEM DID NOT CONTAIN ENOUGH USABLE FUEL FOR OPERATION, EVEN THOUGH THE PILOT BELIEVED HE HAD ADEQUATE RESERVES.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)
