Piper Arrow lands on San Diego Interstate
Piper runs out of fuel enroute to Carlsbad and ditches on interstate Sunday night, no injuries. Only damage to plane was due to Dodge pickup clipping wingtip. (www.cbs8.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I'm not advocating flying over-weight, but a lot more pilots have crashed running out of fuel than because they were a few pounds over gross.If his family won't fly with him next time, he will have plenty of buffer for more fuel.

Fuel Mismanagement is always the pilots fault-a big No-No. But, that being said....he made an excellent landing choice..and were it not for the idiot in the car- there would have been no damage at all.
Let's see, 1hr on R-tank, switch tanks, 1hr on L-tank, etc, etc, ! lol
Ran out of fuel ? The only time you have too much fuel is when you are on fire!
Ran out of gas ? The only time you have too much gas is when you are on fire ! lol
