The pilot was killed instantly. Examination of a meticulous diary the pilot kept revealed that this was the 24th engine fl ame out. The cause? The ground wire to the electric fuel pump had never been secured (pushed all the way in) in the cannon
plug to the fuel pump, making it progressively more intermittent. The DOM felt responsible for his
friend’s death because he had not been assertive when he knew he should have been. He will live with that the rest of his life, but would you
have done anything diff erent? For a more detailed case study, go to
