“The wreckage will remain in Biddeford as long as it may be needed by NTSB investigators, the Federal Aviation Administration, or the Cessna Corp., all of which are involved in the investigation,” according to your report.

Who is at the crash site to represent the pilot? Will the NTSB and FAA look at the fuel tanks of the Cessna aircraft that do not permit the positive detection of water in the fuel tank during the preflight of the aircraft?

Fuel contaminated with water is as much of a probable cause as any other probable cause at this stage of the investigation. The NTSB has written off general aviation engine failures 6,418 times as undetermined.

Would you accept an undetermined engine failure from your automobile mechanic?
