The aircraft Tecnam P-92 Echo S, registration EC-DG4, with the pilot as the only occupant, was involved in an accident while performing a local flight.
According to the information provided by the pilot, when he was compensating the amount of fuel in the tanks, the engine stalled in flight. The pilot headed for the Jaime I Military Base facilities, with the intention of landing there, but was unable to reach it, landing in emergency off-field.
The pilot was unharmed and the aircraft suffered significant damage to the main landing gear, the left wing, the elevator and the fuselage.
Causes / Contributing factors
The investigation has revealed that the accident was caused by improper fuel management and the incorrect management of the emergency in that the flaps were fully extended before the landing was assured, resulting in an off-airfield landing.
The following factors are thought to have contributed:
• A lack of adherence to the available engine failure procedure.
• The note on fuel compensation in the cruise checklist of the Aircraft Manual does not provide sufficient information for the procedure to be completed.
