What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(.19)On June 13, 2001, about 2122 eastern daylight time, a Beech C-90, YV-2466P, venezuelan registered to a private individual, operating as a title 14 CFR part 91 personal flight, crashed while on final approach to fort Lauderdale-Hollywood international airport, (fll) Florida. Night visual meteorological conditions prevailed and an instrument flight plan had been filed. The aircraft was destroyed, a foreign pilot-rated passenger in the right pilot's seat was fatally injured, and the left seated foreign pilot was seriously injured, as was a passenger in the cabin. The flight originated from caracus, venezuela's oscar machado zuloaga airport, at 1517 eastern daylight time. According to the fll tower controller who was directing the aircraft for landing, the flight was routinely handed off to his position from miami approach control radar for a visual landing. When YV-2466P made his initial radio call to fll tower at 2117, he was given the following instructions, " YV-2466P, you are number one for [runway] 9R, winds are 140 at 7, cross the shoreline at one thousand", [feet-altitude, MSL]. At 2120, the tower controller transmitted, "2466P cleared to land." At 2121, the pilot of YV-2366P transmitted in sequence, "I need the field, I have difficulties here...small problem with engine." The controller transmitted, "wind check, 140 at 8, no need to acknowledge", and estimated YV-2466P was 500 feet AGL, and 3/4 mile from the threshold to runway 9R with landing lights illuminated, when he momentarily directed his attention to an airline jet rolling out on the north runway. When he redirected his attention to runway 9R, he could not see his lights. The aircraft's first contact with the terrain was near the centerline of an off-ramp road that runs parallel to north-south oriented highway interstate 95 (I-95), on its west side. The wreckage path was perpendicular to I-95 , was 33 feet in length, and terminated at a 15-foot vertical concrete wall that elevates I-95. Scars on the road and wreckage analysis reveal the landing gear hit the road first hard, collapsed the three landing gear, and bent the empennage and both wing outer panels downward before impacting the wall. The wall bore distinct imprints of the nose and both propeller spinners. Preliminary examination of the fuel system revealed total fuel found in the tanks to be minimal. Fuel found in the fuel lines andfuel filter housings of both engines totalled less than a pint. (-23) YV2466P lost power due to fuel starvation, crashed while on final apc to fort Lauderdale international airport.
As the FAA filed it
(.19)ON JUNE 13, 2001, ABOUT 2122 EASTERN DAYLIGHT TIME, A BEECH C-90, YV-2466P, VENEZUELAN REGISTERED TO A PRIVATE INDIVIDUAL, OPERATING AS A TITLE 14 CFR PART 91 PERSONAL FLIGHT, CRASHED WHILE ON FINAL APPROACH TO FORT LAUDERDALE-HOLLYWOOD INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, (FLL) FLORIDA. NIGHT VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED AND AN INSTRUMENT FLIGHT PLAN HAD BEEN FILED. THE AIRCRAFT WAS DESTROYED, A FOREIGN PILOT-RATED PASSENGER IN THE RIGHT PILOT'S SEAT WAS FATALLY INJURED, AND THE LEFT SEATED FOREIGN PILOT WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED, AS WAS A PASSENGER IN THE CABIN. THE FLIGHT ORIGINATED FROM CARACUS, VENEZUELA'S OSCAR MACHADO ZULOAGA AIRPORT, AT 1517 EASTERN DAYLIGHT TIME. ACCORDING TO THE FLL TOWER CONTROLLER WHO WAS DIRECTING THE AIRCRAFT FOR LANDING, THE FLIGHT WAS ROUTINELY HANDED OFF TO HIS POSITION FROM MIAMI APPROACH CONTROL RADAR FOR A VISUAL LANDING. WHEN YV-2466P MADE HIS INITIAL RADIO CALL TO FLL TOWER AT 2117, HE WAS GIVEN THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS, " YV-2466P, YOU ARE NUMBER ONE FOR [RUNWAY] 9R, WINDS ARE 140 AT 7, CROSS THE SHORELINE AT ONE THOUSAND", [FEET-ALTITUDE, MSL]. AT 2120, THE TOWER CONTROLLER TRANSMITTED, "2466P CLEARED TO LAND." AT 2121, THE PILOT OF YV-2366P TRANSMITTED IN SEQUENCE, "I NEED THE FIELD, I HAVE DIFFICULTIES HERE...SMALL PROBLEM WITH ENGINE." THE CONTROLLER TRANSMITTED, "WIND CHECK, 140 AT 8, NO NEED TO ACKNOWLEDGE", AND ESTIMATED YV-2466P WAS 500 FEET AGL, AND 3/4 MILE FROM THE THRESHOLD TO RUNWAY 9R WITH LANDING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED, WHEN HE MOMENTARILY DIRECTED HIS ATTENTION TO AN AIRLINE JET ROLLING OUT ON THE NORTH RUNWAY. WHEN HE REDIRECTED HIS ATTENTION TO RUNWAY 9R, HE COULD NOT SEE HIS LIGHTS. THE AIRCRAFT'S FIRST CONTACT WITH THE TERRAIN WAS NEAR THE CENTERLINE OF AN OFF-RAMP ROAD THAT RUNS PARALLEL TO NORTH-SOUTH ORIENTED HIGHWAY INTERSTATE 95 (I-95), ON ITS WEST SIDE. THE WRECKAGE PATH WAS PERPENDICULAR TO I-95 , WAS 33 FEET IN LENGTH, AND TERMINATED AT A 15-FOOT VERTICAL CONCRETE WALL THAT ELEVATES I-95. SCARS ON THE ROAD AND WRECKAGE ANALYSIS REVEAL THE LANDING GEAR HIT THE ROAD FIRST HARD, COLLAPSED THE THREE LANDING GEAR, AND BENT THE EMPENNAGE AND BOTH WING OUTER PANELS DOWNWARD BEFORE IMPACTING THE WALL. THE WALL BORE DISTINCT IMPRINTS OF THE NOSE AND BOTH PROPELLER SPINNERS. PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION OF THE FUEL SYSTEM REVEALED TOTAL FUEL FOUND IN THE TANKS TO BE MINIMAL. FUEL FOUND IN THE FUEL LINES ANDFUEL FILTER HOUSINGS OF BOTH ENGINES TOTALLED LESS THAN A PINT. (-23) YV2466P LOST POWER DUE TO FUEL STARVATION, CRASHED WHILE ON FINAL APC TO FORT LAUDERDALE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.
