19 Nov 2011: GLOBE GC-1B — KARDOS NEIL M

No fatalities • Denver, CO, United States

Probable cause

A loss of engine power due to fuel starvation as a result of a loose fuel line fitting.

— NTSB Determination

Accident narrative

The pilot stated the engine began to gradually lose power shortly after takeoff and he could smell raw fuel. As the pilot turned back to the airport, the engine stopped running and he made a forced landing to a muddy field short of the runway. During the landing, the airplane nosed over and the vertical stabilizer was bent. A postaccident examination of the engine revealed a fitting that secured the main fuel line to the engine was loose and leaking fuel.
