## Narrative

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

PILOT WAS DESCENDING AFTER RELEASING 2 PARACHUTE JUMPERS.  WHILE DESCENDING, THE PILOT STATED THE ENGINE WAS "ACTING UP".  SHE CHECKED THE FUEL GAUGES WHICH READ 1/4.  PRIOR TO THE FLIGHTS, THE OWNER OF THE AIRCRAFT HAD TOLD HER THERE COULD BE TRAPPED AIR IN THE FUEL SYSTEM OF OLDER CESSNA'S AND TOLD HER TO CHANGE THE PITCH OF THE AIRCRAFT TO GET RID OF THE BUBBLES.  SHE DID THIS BUT IT DID NOT WORK.  SHE BELIEVES THE ENGINE QUIT, HOWEVER SHE CANNOT REMEMBER ANYTHING ELSE RELATED TO THE ACCIDENT.  THE PILOT STATED SHE HAD PROBLEMS ON A PREVIOUS FLIGHT, SHE USED THE SUGGESTED METHOD AND THE ENGINE RAN FINE.  THE AIRCRAFT HAD BEEN FUELED TWICE THAT DAY BY ONE OF THE PARACHUTISTS WHILE THE PILOT WATCHED.  THE FIRST FUELING WAS 15 GALLONS PER SIDE AND THE SECOND FUELING WAS 10 GALLONS PER SIDE.  THE PILOT COMPLETED TWO JUMP SEQUENCES AFTER EACH FUELING.  THE FINAL JUMP SEQUENCE HAD THE AIRCRAFT CLIMB TO 11,000 FT MSL WITH TWO JUMPERS ON BOARD.  THE PILOT STATED THAT THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME SHE HAD FLOWN JUMPERS FOR GENESEO SKYDIVING.  AFTER RELEASING THE JUMPERS, THE OWNER HAD INSTRUCTED HER TO PITCH THE AIRCRAFT FOR 140 MPH AND DECREASE THE THROTTLE GRADUALLY WHILE DESCENDING.  THE ENGINE IS CARBURETED AND CARBURETOR HEAT WAS NOT USED.
