1st thing that popped into my mind was John Denver.
Yep......................
Please correct if my memory is faulty...did the cause of Denver’s crash eventually come out that his homebuilt kit aircraft had two fuel tanks; and that in flight, one was exhausted but solo pilot Denver, strapped in as pilot, was unable to reach the control to switch over to the full tank?
Thus engines cut out and he crashed without power.
Are all powered planes capable of a “dead-stick” powerless landing in which the pilot can survive? Not a pilot of any kind, just curious.
