The following is an excerpt from official NTSB summaries of general aviation accidents in the United States.
On the Record: Cessna 421B
Key Takeaways:
- A Cessna 421B experienced a total loss of engine power shortly after takeoff due to being mistakenly serviced with Jet A fuel instead of the required 100LL aviation fuel, leading to a forced landing and injuries.
- The misfueling was caused by an FBO employee's error, a non-standard small nozzle on the Jet A fuel truck, and the aircraft's non-compliance with an Airworthiness Directive requiring fuel filler restrictors.
