NTSB events (1)
Accident · substantial damage
Oct 16, 2002 · San Antonio, TX
the flight instructor's failure to refuel at an available airport when a low fuel status was identified. Factors were the flight instructor's inadequate preflight flight planning, which included improper fuel consumption calculations, the night light conditions, and the lack of suitable terrain for the forced landing.
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.
AI-extracted — verify against original. Matched from each AD's applicability section; ADs replaced by a later AD are left out.
