NTSB Preliminary Narrative (6120.19A) |
On January 31, 2001, at 2201 eastern standard time, a Cessna 150J, N60336, collided with a commercial building while maneuvering for a forced |
landing in Concord, North Carolina. The personal flight was operated by the pilot under the provisions of Title 14 CFR Part 91 with no flight plan |
filed. Visual weather conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. The airplane received substantial damage; the pilot and his passenger |
received minor injuries. The flight departed Petersburg, Virginia, at an undetermined time; the flight was enroute to Charlotte, North Carolina. |
According to the pilot, while enroute to Charlotte, North Carolina, at approximately 10,000 feet, the engine lost power and quit. The pilot declared |
an emergency and was issued radar vectors to the Concord Regional Airport by Charlotte Approach Control. As the pilot maneuvered for the |
forced landing, the airplane collided with a commercial building two miles short of the airport. |
According to the pilot, he attempted to transfer fuel from the auxiliary tank when the engine started losing power. Efforts to restore full power |
failed, but there were brief periods when the engine regained power before shutting down completely. According to the supplemental type |
certificate for the auxiliary fuel tank installed in this airplane, fuel transfer to the main fuel tank must start when the main fuel tank is 2/3 full. The |
examination of the airplane at the accident site disclosed that the auxiliary fuel tank was full. The pilot did not report any mechanical malfunction |
during the flight. Examination of the airframe and power plant did not disclose any mechanical malfunctions or defects. |
