Plane In NC Accident Suffered Fuel Exhaustion | Aero-News Network


We have this crash in the States just a few weeks ago. The guy seems to have been trying to land his Tomahawk in a paddock adjacent to his house.

I keep telling the owners of certified machines.... if you want to do your own maintenance and not log it then why would you bother doing medicals and renewals.

It is pointless having a legal licence and then fly about in your machine with an invalidated C of A.

This guy seems to have gone a step beyond that, - he may have been trying to save too much of his fuel dollar.
