CESSNA T210L
ACCORDING TO THE PLT'S CALCULATIONS, THE ACFT SHOULD HAVE HAD ENOUGH FUEL ON BOARD FOR 8.4 HRS OF FLT. HOWEVER, AFTER ABOUT 5.6 HRS OF FLT TIME, THE ENG LOST POWER FROM FUEL EXHAUSTION. THE ACFT WAS DAMAGED DURING A WHEELS-UP LANDING. THE PLT SAID THAT THE LEFT FUEL GAGE WAS NOT WORKING, SO HE USED FUEL FROM THAT TANK 1ST, THEN SELECTED THE RIGHT FUEL TANK. DURING THE LAST 15 TO 20 MIN OF FLT, THE RIGHT FUEL GAGE SHOWED A RAPID DECREASE OF THE FUEL. THE ENG LOST POWER AFTER THE RIGHT FUEL GAGE DECREASED TO ZERO. NO PREIMPACT PART FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION WAS FOUND.
