Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The pilot changed the fuel selector from right to left while descending through 2200 ft MSL. The engine failed immediately after the fuel selector was moved. Repeated attempts to restart the engine by changing fuel selector position was unsuccessful. The aircraft landed in the yard of a residence. Examination of the fuel selector system revealed that the roll pin, pn NAS561P3-6, had fallen out of the yoke, pn he 1328. This allowed slippage between the fuel selector handle and the fuel selector valve. The selector valve rotor was found in the off position.
