## Narrative

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

THE PILOT FORGOT TO SWITCH FUEL TANKS FOR MAIN TO AUX. THE MAIN TANKS WERE DRY AND IT CAUSED THE RIGHT ENGINE TO QUIT ON FINAL APPROACH.  THE PILOT WAS TOO WORRIED ABOUT RESTARTING THE ENGINE AND FORGOT TO FLY THE AIRPLANE RESULTING IN A LANDING OFF THE RUNWAY RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT.
