AIRCRAFT DEPARTED HENDERSON AIRPORT (HND) NEVADA TO AN UNKNOWN DESTINATION.

ON SITE INVESTIGATION INDICATED THAT THE RIGHT FUEL TANK OF THE AIRCRAFT WAS EMPTY AND THE FUEL SELECTOR VALVE WAS SET TO THE RIGHT TANK. 20 GALLONS OF FUEL WAS RECOVERED AND MEASURED FROM THE LEFT TANK.

A SUBSEQUENT INTERVIEW WITH THE PILOT INDICATES THAT THE ACCIDENT EVENT WAS PLANNED AND SELF INDUCED BY THE PILOT.

## 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.
