## Narrative

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

DURING THE PREFLIGHT OF THE AIRCRAFT THE PILOT DID NOT CORRECTLY ASCERTAIN THE ACTUAL FUEL QUANTITY IN THE AIRCRAFT USING A VISUAL MEANS OTHER THEN LOOKING AT THE ELECTRIC FUEL GAGES INSTALLED IN THE AIRCRAFT. IN THE WRITTEN STATEMENT AND DURING THE INTERVIEW THE PILOT REPORTED, THE LEFT TANK WAS AT ¼ PLUS OR MINUS AND THE RIGHT TANK WAS ¾ PLUS OR MINUS NOTING THAT THE LEFT TANK READING LOW WAS A NORMAL CONDITION.

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.
