| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The plane crashed into an Industrial building during approach and was completely destroyed. Both occupants were injured but survived the crash. One person was inside the buliding company, but she was not injured.
BEA Conclusion:
The motor suffered a power loss caused by fuel shortage. When the engine failure occurred, the pilot chose to proceed to a clear area. Not finding any landing surface, the pilot headed for the aerodrome. The remaining height at that time no longer allowed him to reach the runway even at the speed of maximum glide.
Contributed to the fuel failure:
- the decision to proceed with the flight without knowledge of the actual amount of fuel available on board;
- an adjustment of the engine parameters during the previous flight resulting in excessive fuel consumption;
- an error in the flight time countdown on the two previous flights that led to an incorrect calculation of fuel consumption.
Contributed to the accident:
- the pilot's poor experience on this type of aircraft, which probably led to an incorrect estimate of the glide angle;
- the decision to undertake a diversion without knowledge of the real autonomy remaining on board.
The engine did not regain power when the pilot changed tanks. It could not be determined whether the pilot voluntarily dried this tank during the flight.
