Aircraft involved

Probable cause & findings

Fuel starvation due to fuel migration during the pilot induced slipping maneuver.

Factual narrative

The pilot reported that while approaching to land he placed the airplane into a slip using right rudder and left aileron in order to lose excess altitude. When the airplane was about 100 ft. above the ground the engine stopped producing power. The pilot suspected that fuel flow to the engine was interrupted because the fuel migrated away from the fuel pickup during the slip resulting in a loss of engine power. He reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures of the airplane. Source: NTSB Aviation Accident Database Retrieved: 2026-02-12
