## Narrative

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

WHEN INSPECTOR ARRIVED AT THE AIRPORT, INSPECTOR FOUND THE PERSON (POC) WHO WORKED FOR THE AIRPORT. HE ADVISED ME THAT THE AIRCRAFT WAS IN THE GRASS AND HAD LANDED WITH NO FUEL. WHEN WE ARRIVED AT THE CRASH SITE, THE PILOT AND OTHER AIRPORT EMPLOYEES WERE THERE ALONG WITH THE FIRST RESPONDERS. THE AIRPORT AUTHORITY GAVE ME THE STATEMENTS WRITTEN BY THE PASSENGERS. (2 PASSENGERS WERE ON BOARD DURING A DISCOVERY FLIGHT. MINOR INJURIES WERE RECEIVED BY THE 2 PASSENGERS). THE 2 HAD LEFT THE SITE AND RETURNED TO THE FBO WERE THEY STARTED. INSPECTOR ASKED THE PILOT FOR HIS CERTIFICATE, MEDICAL AND ID (FL. DL.) MY POC WALKED ME THROUGH THE CRASH SITE. INSPECTOR PHOTOGRAPHED THE AREA.THE AIRCRAFT LANDED SHORT OF ANY RUNWAY ON THE TAXI WAY IN FRONT OF A HANGAR. THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK THE TAXI WAY VERY HARD, COLLAPSING THE NOSE GEAR AND CAUSING THE ENGINE PROP TO STRIKE THE GROUND. THE AIRCRAFT CARRIED ENOUGH SPEED THAT IT SKIDDED ACROSS THE TAXIWAY AND INTO THE GRASS WHERE IT CAME TO REST. BOTH MAINS ALSO CAME OFF AND WERE FOUND ON EITHER SIDE OF THE AIRCRAFT IN THE GRASS AREA.
