## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT GLIDED TO THE AIRFIELD AT A RIGHT ANGLE TO THE RUNWAY AND TOUCHED DOWN IN THE DIRT/GRASS JUST SHORT OF THE EAST SIDE OF RUNWAY. ON TOUCHDOWN NOSE GEAR SEPARATED AND THE AIRCRAFT SLID ACROSS RUNWAY, COMING TO A STOP JUST OUTSIDE THE RUNWAY LIGHTS

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

- [NTSB CEN19LA304](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN19LA304), Sep 6, 2019: Piper PA-28D-180 (N6595J), Midlothian, TX, substantial damage. Probable cause: Misalignment of the fuel selector valve when the right fuel tank was selected, which restricted fuel flow and resulted in a total loss of engine power due to fuel starvation.

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.
