Why did the NTSB walk away from Safety Recommendation A-83-6 twenty five years ago?
What happened to FAA Safety Recommendations 99.283 and 99.284 about undetectable water in Cessna aircraft fuel tanks?
Why did the NTSB ignore my petition about UNDETECTABLE WATER in the fuel tanks of Cessna aircraft?
Why does SAIB CE-10-40R1 not mention anything about positive detection of water in the fuel tanks of Cessna aircraft?
How many more pilots and passengers have to die for the NTSB to do a real world test on a Cessna aircraft for positive detection of water in their fuel tanks?
I would be happy to provide the drop of red food color and ten ounces of water. I will also provide the aircraft for your test!
NTSB your poor "investigations" are killing pilots and passengers!
Pending the discovery of a catastrophic engine failure could it have been undetectable water in the fuel tank that caused this crash?
Aircraft engines run on a rather simple principle, it is air, spark and uncontaminated fuel.
Do you think the aircraft engine ran out of air after takeoff? Did you know that aircraft engines have two spark plugs per cylinder? Aircraft engines have two magnetos which
provide redundant spark to all the spark plugs. Do you think the aircraft engine ran out of spark after takeoff? Only one thing changes when the aircraft takes off and that is its
attitude. Is it possible when the aircraft takes off and changes it's attitude, water hiding in the fuel tank moves and makes its way to the engine?
The NTSB is acutely aware of undetectable water that hides in general aviation aircraft fuel tanks but the NTSB has chosen to ignore this life taking flaw for decades.
In my opinion, the NTSB can not investigate their way out of a paper bag.
Sump, it sounds like you need to go buy a Piper or something. With proper precautions a pilot can be as sure of finding water in a Cessna's sump as in any other aircraft.
It appears that this one will turn out to be trying to fly VFR into weather that was certainly below minimums.
