## Narrative

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

THE AIRCRAFT LOST ENGINE POWER SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF WHILE PERFORMING MULTIPLE TOUCH AND GOES AT KDTN ON RUNWAY 14.  THE AIRCRAFT MADE A LH BASE TURN UNDER VFR CONDITIONS AND PERFORMED A WATER LANDING IN THE RED RIVER OFF THE DEPARTURE END OF RUNWAY 14. THE AIRCRAFT FLIPPED OVER AFTER TOUCH DOWN IN THE RIVER AND BOTH PILOT & PASSENGER EGRESSED THE AIRPLANE; THEN SWAM TO SHORE. THERE WERE NO REPORTED INJURIES.  A POST SALVAGE EXAMINATION OF THE AIRPLANE REVEALED THERE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1 GALLON OF UNUSABLE FUEL REMAINING IN THE RH FUEL TANK AND 2 GALLONS OF UNUSABLE FUEL REMAINING IN THE LH FUEL TANK.  FURTHER EXAMINATION OF THE ENGINE AND ACCESSORIES REVEALED NO ABNORMALITIES. EVEN THOUGH THE PLANE WAS SUBMERGED UNDER WATER FOR A WEEK BEFORE RECOVERY, THE INTEGRITY OF  FUEL TANKS REMAINED IN TACT.  AFTER REVIEWING ALL THE DATA FROM THIS ACCIDENT, THE PROBABILITY OF THIS AIRCRAFT RUNNING OUT OF FUEL WAS VERY HIGH.
