- Date: May 6, 2022
- Aircraft: Cessna 421C Golden Eagle III
- Location: Houston-William P. Hobby, Texas, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: The fixed base operator's incorrect fueling of the airplane resulted in a total loss of power in both engines (NTSB).
A Cessna 421C lost power in both engines shortly after takeoff from Houston Hobby because the airplane had been fueled with Jet A instead of avgas. The pilot made a forced landing in a field and a post crash fire followed. All four aboard survived. The NTSB blamed the fixed base operator's incorrect fueling.
