Oct 11, 1987 · Porterville, CA
DURING A NORMAL DESCENT, THE ENGINE LOST ALL POWER. THE PILOT EXECUTED AN EMERGENCY DESCENT AND FORCE LANDED IN A FIELD. AN EXAMINATION OF THE AIRCRAFT WRECKAGE REVEALED THAT THERE WAS NO FUEL IN THE FUEL TANKS. DURING A TELEPHONE INTERVIEW, THE PILOT STATED THAT HE 'RAN OUT OF GAS'. THERE WERE NO MECHANICAL PROBLEMS REPORTED PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT.
These match the airframe or engine model. Whether each one applies, and whether it's been complied with, depends on serial numbers, equipment and logbook entries. Applicability must be confirmed by a mechanic against the aircraft's records.
