Accident & incident history

2004-09-23 Accident · Bee Caves, TX Damage: Destroyed Fatal injury NTSB · FTW04FA243
Reported aircraft: Cessna 421C — a different aircraft that carried the N729DM registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The pilot's improper positioning of the fuel selector valves, which resulted in a loss of power to the left engine due to fuel exhaustion. After the power loss, the pilot failed to follow checklist procedures and did not secure (feather) the left propeller, which resulted in a loss of altitude and subsequent forced landing.
