| Does anyone know anything more about this accident? NTSB number is MIA08LA034, and it occurred on 1/3/2008. I think this is the second Tecnam accident that actually got reported, but I have heard of at least one more that never made it into the database. All seem to be caused by "loss of engine power for undetermined reasons resulting in a forced landing". The other Sierra accident I heard about allegedly resulted from the pilot turning off both fuel valves simultaneously. |
