## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT BEING FERRIED FROM HAYES, KANSAS TO AMARILLO, TEXAS.  PILOT STATED THAT HE WAS LOST AND DECIDED TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY LANDING, DUE TO LOW FUEL .

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.
