## Narrative

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

PILOT FLEW THE PA-25 AIRCRAFT TO FUEL EXHAUSTION AND EXECUTED A FORCED LANDING IN A SOCCER FIELD ADJACENT TO A CONGESTED AREA.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System.

Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
