Probe after light aircraft runs out of fuel
Five parachutists on board the Cessna 206 Stationair had exited the aircraft on the pilot’s instructions after it had suffered a temporary, partial loss of power as it had climbed to 9,000 ft.
Although the engine recovered, it subsequently stopped fully a short time later as it made its final approach to land at Clonbullogue Airfield, Co Offaly, on March 15, 2009.
