NYC02LA148Accident on July 28, 2002 at Harrisonburg, VA: minor injuries, substantial damage.

Aircraft on the NTSB record: Bird CK · operated under 091

The pilot's improper decision to perform a 180-degree turn with insufficient altitude remaining after experiencing a total loss of power. A factor related to the accident was the inadequate alignment of the fuel selector placard markings, resulting in an inaccurate selector position and the subsequent total loss of engine power due to fuel starvation.
