During the flight from LKKC to LKJH, the pilot had to make an emergency landing due to a fuel shortage. The pilot was slightly injured, the passenger was not injured. Large-scale damage was found on the aircraft.
Causes of air accident
The cause of the accident was a fuel shortage which caused the engine to shut down.
The fuel deficiency was caused by an inadequate assessment of the current the amount of fuel in the aircraft and its actual hourly consumption for that day's flights by the pilot.
The following were also significant contributory factors:
- Setting the Dynon SkyView system to a lower than actual consumption,
- leaks in the aircraft's tank vent lines, and thus a possible leak of fuel in this line,
- unreliable indication of fuel quantity in the right half of the fuel system on the Dynon SkyView display for approximately the last 3 months prior to the accident,
- no findings of smell of petrol were recorded in the aircraft Technical Log in the cabin, vacuum in the tanks after the flight, and unreliable operation of the right fuel gauge on the Dynon SkyView display,
- calculation of pre-flight preparation flight time based on lower than indicated fuel burn.
