Accident & incident history

2013-01-18 Accident · Rock Springs, WY Damage: Substantial NTSB · WPR13LA094
Reported aircraft: Piper PA-28-235 — a different aircraft that carried the N49DS registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The pilot's inadvertent movement of the fuel selector valve beyond its tank detent, which resulted in a total loss of engine power due to fuel starvation. Contributing to the accident was the failure of the fuel selector interlock mechanism.
