Double engine failure due to fuel starvation, according to people on scene. Initially tried to reach the main airport at Lansing (KLAN), then diverted to the 4,000' runway 28 at KTEW. 750' of skid marks on the the pavement, followed by a swerve to the right and several hundred feet through the grass. Fortunately, the ground was summertime hard. Yes, the final stop occurred about 20' past the runway end, but beside it, not in line with 28 proper.
ReplyDeleteDid they forget to refuel, finger trouble or contamination? It will be interesting to see the fuel system diagram. If anything like the Falcon 2000 one would have to try quite hard to achieve fuel starvation to both engines. Can anyone find the LiveATC recording?

ReplyDeleteMx shut off a fuel valve between the wing tanks and feeder tanks and didn't open it back up.
