Analysis
On March 8, 1985, a Cessna 210, operated by the pilot, lost engine power and was substantially damaged. The airplane departed hurricane, Utah and the destination was Bountiful skypark aprt. The pilot stated that the airplane was being ferried to the airport for the purpose of obtaining an annual inspection. The post accident investigation revealed that the left fuel tank was empty. The right tank contained 1/4. The engine was examined and no fuel found. The engine was test run and operated in a normal manner. A placard in the airplane states that takeoffs and landings are not to be performed with 1/4 tank or less. The plt did not file an accident report and as a result some of the data fields are unfilled in this compilation of known data.
