Grove and Coconut Creek, FL

Heh-heh! I didn't notice that. No wonder the papers screwed up the facts.

BTW, If you want the e-ticket ride of the year, I'll be test-flying a
Cheyenne 400 next week.

Where are you going to be?

I'm gonna be- laughing at the owner because this Piper blows away his
P-51!
"Stick to your toy- leave the Cheyenne for the real pilots!"

I'll probably get punched, but it will be worth it.

Additionally, the aircraft had just come out of maintenance were the tanks
were emptied. The investigators have not been able to find a fueling
ticket.

Btiz,

the avionics did not tell the pilot to check fuel before flying..


Actually, in the Entegra-equipped aircraft, they do.

Perhaps just a little more information needs to be released before one
can make that statement, wouldn't you agree?

The ceilings and visibility were crap that day. He likely encountered IMC
shortly after take-off. A gyro problem makes sense. The fuel thing comes
from a reliable source but puzzles me because a plane without fuel usually
doesn't burn down the house it crashes into.

Unless the aircraft severed a natural gas line and another source
ignited it.
