From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.
What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Pilot failed to verify amount of fuel in right main tank prior to take off. Engine lost power due to fuel depletion. Insufficient time to position landing gear down and locked. Gear collapsed and aircraft slid on exhaust stack and belly, with all three propellers coming in contact with the ground. Inspection of right main fuel tank indicated empty.
