Once again the NTSB has pinned the blame on pilot error. they failed to mention what tank he was on. or the fact that he was talking to the tower, in fact he asked them three times "can you see me now". before the transmission broke off. This flight was only about 4 minutes long.
I find it hard to believe he would not be on the tank with the six gallons of fuel in it when he knew, as they pointed out that the control was hard to turn.. As for the sputter our plane of this type always sounded as tho it was missing, didn't mean it was. The fact remains he was too busy in the cock pit, instead of flying the plane. Audean N6596Q
