Injuries1 fatal
Phase of Flight-
ConditionsVMC
OperationFAR 091
Probable Cause

An in-flight engine compartment fire due to a partially loose flexible fuel hose b-nut at the fuel metering unit. Contributing to the severity of the accident was the pilot’s inability to visually identify the destination airport at night, which prolonged the in-flight emergency.
