NTSB summary
HISTORY OF FLIGHT On June 12, 2019, about 1102 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 182E, N3051Y, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Maitland, Florida. The private pilot and passenger were fatally injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. Earlier on day of the accident, the pilot and passenger flew the airplane from Oconee County Regional Airport (CEU), Clemson, South Carolina, to Executive Airport (ORL), Orlando, Florida. A fuel receipt revealed that the pilot purchased 21.1 gallons of fuel before departing CEU, and the pilot's filed flight plan indicated that the airplane departed CEU with 4 hours of fuel on board. According to radar data from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the duration of the flight from CEU to ORL was 3.10 hours. The pilot did not purchase fuel at ORL before departing about 1055 for his next destination, Massey Ranch Airpark (X50), New Smyrna Beach, Florida. Air traffic control radio communication information provided by the FAA revealed that the pilot declared an emergency with air traffic control at 1101 and stated that the airplane was not getting fuel out of the right tank. The pilot asked for the nearest airport and the controller provided vectors back toward ORL. The controller cleared the pilot to land and instructed him to contact the tower controller at ORL. The pilot also reported to the tower controller that the airplane was not getting fuel out of the right tank. The controller cleared the pilot to land on runway 13, but the pilot did not respo
Probable cause
The pilot's inadequate preflight fuel planning, which resulted in a total loss of engine power due to fuel starvation.
