Out of fuel on a ferry flight after flying for 14+ hours. He must have hit some headwinds to have been 250nm short of his destination in Maui.

That was one option package I'm sure he's glad he bought (or the owner bought). Planning that flight went wrong somewhere....weather reports must of missed something. Glad he survived :rolleyes:


Apparently he had plenty of fuel but some valve in auxiliary tank got 'jammed' and he couldn't use up the fuel.

That could explain it....

The pilot was ferrying a new aircraft still owned by Cirrus for delivery to a dealer, as I read the article.

 

CAPS is not an option on Cirrus aircraft. They are standard equipment. B)
