The National Aviation Board determines the cause of the plane crash in January near Millard Airport

Omaha, Neb. (Wowt) – The NTSB has published its report for the plane crash near the Millard Airport in January this year.

According to the report, the pilot reported that his aircraft had completely lost the power supply in a traffic pattern while flying.

After the loss of electricity, the pilot changed fuel tanks, but the power supply was still not restored, which meant that the pilot led a “forced landing” in trees near the airport Millard.

An investigation showed that the fuel was not contaminated, but the amount of fuel in the tank was not sufficient to keep the engine running.

The report says that there was about a teaspoon of fuel in the gas colator and no fuel in the fuel tanks at all.

The report also says that the pilot did not “weaken the tanks” before the flight, which means that it did not check the fuel for contamination before the flight.

The pilot stated that, according to the report, he should fill the tanks before the flight before the flight.

In its conclusion, the NTSB said that the cause of the crash was: “The inadequate inspection of the pilot, which led to a total loss of engine power due to fuel proportions.”
