## Narrative

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

ENGINE FAILURE

INSPECTED A/C FOUND LEFT FUEL TANK FULL, RIGHT FUEL TANK WITH 3 CUPS OF FUEL, THE FUEL STRAINER WAS CHECKED AND NO FUEL WAS FOUND.

INTERVIEWED PILOT HE STATED HE ALL WAYS WITH THE FUEL SELECTOR IN THE BOTH POSITION AND AFTER LANDING THE AIRCRAFT HE WENT TO PUT THE FUEL SELECTOR IN THE OFF POSITION AND NOTICED THE SELECTOR WAS IN THE RIGHT FUEL TANK POSITION. I ASKED HIM IF HE USED HIS CHECK LIST AND HE SAID NO HE WAS JUST LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO LAND  AND HE FEELS HE RAN OUT OF FUEL.

THE AIRCRAFT RUN UP CHECK LIST STATES FUEL SELECTOR TO BOTH AND THE EMERGENCE CHECK LIST FOR ENGINE FAILURE STATES FUEL SELECTOR TO BOTH.

A CERTIFIED MECHANIC INSPECTED THE AIRCRAFT AND POWERPLANT FOUND NO DISCREPANCIES AND RETUNED THE AIRCRAFT TO SERVICE, THE FUEL WAS BALANCED BETWEEN THE TANKS AND THE AIRCRAFT DEPARTED TO HOME AIRPORT.

PILOT WAS VERY FORTH COMING WITH ALL THE INFORMATION AND SAID HE NEEDS TO USE THE CHECK LIST FROM NOW ON.

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.
