Small plane makes emergency landing on I-95 in Indian River County Landing caused by 'fuel exhaustion'

it is true that the aircraft climbs better with minimum, nearly empty fuel tanks up to the point where the fuel runs out.

Everyone knows you need fully rested fuel.

You can never have enough fuel, unless you're on fire.

Hello sir, I'm from the FAA and have a few questions for you...

Tired fuel is no excuse. That fuel needs to get 10 hours of rest before going to work in the engine.

Memo to self, double check fuel calcuations.

Lesson of the day, when on an interstate and you see a 172 in your side mirrors
pull over to the shoulder to give more room for single engine glider to land on centerline.

The use of 1 "thing" could have help prevented this from happening.......a CHECKLIST!

I've read on the Internet that gluten-free fuel is healthier.

Fuel exhaustion is often due to brain exhaustion during the planning and preflight stages.

So, not much homework yields, KFPR-KVRB, 10.5 NM's (I'm bein generous here) and the stoner takes off on the back side of the clock and runs outta gas on the way home. 10 bucks says he's an FO in an AB in 2 years in a third world country. He's in a flight school. Not Flight Safety. JMHO.

We were a bit overweight, guys, so we took off light on fuel. We gotta hit a tanker at... Uh Oh...

"All southbound lanes were slowed down on I-95 while the plane was towed 11 miles to a rest area. It arrived at the rest stop just before 8 a.m. where it will be disassembled and then taken to a local airport."

It ran out of fuel. What am I missing here? Instead of slowing traffic for 11 miles so it could be towed to a rest area, disassembled and trucked to an airport, why not just put 20 gallons of fuel in it, block the road for two minutes and fly it off? By someone other than the meathead who ran out of fuel and landed it on the Interstate, of course. My question is sincere. I don't understand. Perhaps someone will state the reasons in the comments?

If you are too lazy or stupid to check the fuel and oil -- stick with cars before you hurt yourself or somebody else. Who in hell is teaching him? His instructor can't be much if this is the best he or she can do. I'm glad I started in 1961. They were not so forgiving of mistakes back then. And, you were told in in terms that you did not forget.
