Has anyone actually looked why he landed with so little fuel on board?
Does the expected fuel consumption based on the recorded flight hours
match the apparent fuel consumption? If not, can you determine why not?
Was it a leaning error? Or some sort of fault with the airplane? Is it
possible that overnight someone actually removed the fuel from the
airplane?


You forgot one which a lateral-thinking air accident investigator would
hopefully spot: was the calibration of the pump from which the fuel was
dispensed up-to-date and accurate?
