Piper PA-28 N1347T Crash Near Selma, AL
A single-engine Piper PA-28, N1347T, crashed near Selma, AL, on May 11, 2023. The aircraft sustained substantial damage, and no injuries were reported. The crash was caused by the pilot's improper preflight inspection. The left wing fuel sump drain was moved to and left in the open and locked position, allowing fuel to drain during the flight and causing a total loss of engine power from fuel starvation. The pilot's failure to follow the emergency checklist by not switching fuel tanks after the loss of engine power contributed to the accident.  ·  ·  ·
