Plane Crash - Tred Avon River

That is not a Cessna 402.

That’s. Not the accident plane. It’s a pic from the internet of a plane crash in Alabama over 10 years ago.

Yeah I was Googling pictures of small plane crashes and none of them disintegrated on impact. The picture I posted was just an example, didn't mean to imply it was the TA river crash picture.

The plane was piloted by a friend of mine named Robert. The plane had just come out of its annual inspection and just had a new prop installed. The planes belongs to a research company that does something for the University of Maryland. He was a very experienced pilot and flew for commercial airlines in the past and was also a flight instructor. He had radioed the he was having engine trouble before it went down.He will be greatly missed.

Sorry for the loss of your friend.

Sorry for the loss of your friend.

Thank You

UPDATE: Reading between the lines, it looks like he added fuel to the aux tanks and not the mains. I'm guessing he had the fuel selectors set for the mains. It could be as simple as him being distracted by a cell phone call.
