ALDERWOOD MANOR, WA, USA
N6076N
BEECH B23
THE PILOT, AFTER EXHAUSTING ALL FUEL IN ONE TANK, FAILED TO SELECT THE REMAINING FUEL TANK DURING HIS APPROACH. HIS UNFAMILIARITY WITH THE MAKE/MODEL OF THE ACCIDENT AIRCRAFT IS CONSIDERED A FACTOR IN HIS FAILING TO LOCATE THE FUEL SELECTOR AND SWITCHING TO THE APPROPRIATE FUEL TANK. OBSTRUCTIONS IN THE FORM OF TREES AND A FENCE AS WELL AS DUSK LIGHTING CONDITIONS ALL SERVED TO COMPROMISE THE FORCED LANDING.
