Tom Tiffany plane crash: Pilot error, power loss to blame

We've got new information from an initial report on the Tom Tiffany emergency water landing that was in a lake last month up in Wausau happened on September 12th, just before 9 p.m. during final approach to Wausau downtown airport. The National Transportation Safety Board said the cause was power loss coming from the pilot's delay in switching fuel tanks and not turning on a booster pump that pushes fuel from one tank to the engine. because of that the engine did not respond when the pilot applied the throttle flight instructors will often tell you make sure you balance it out make sure you've got that boost pump on there's even acronyms that you use in training that you memorize that this is your mental checklist to go through as you approach for a landing to make sure you've got everything on you know what happens sometimes that people forget i think any pilot has forgotten time to time and go oh yeah you know We've got to make sure we balance that out. The Tiffany campaign today telling Fox 6, quote, Tom will always be grateful to the pilot for his composure during the emergency.
