A Mexican registered Cessna T210 Turbo Centurion crashed in a wooded area close to Booby Bird Road on the Bluff, near Cayman Brac. The aircraft was destroyed when it struck poles and trees while landing at night on an unlit road on the island of Cayman Brac. Both occupants were fatally injured. There was a large spill of Avgas from tanks carried in the cabin as part of a modified fuel system, but no fire.
Conclusion
The aircraft probably suffered an electrical failure which prevented use of the modified fuel system intended to provide additional range. The aircraft then deviated from its original flight path, possibly because the crew intended to divert to Cuba, and its track passed over Cayman Brac. Evidence indicates that the pilot attempted to land on a road. The aircraft was destroyed when it encountered obstacles, including poles, beside the road.
The manner of operation of this aircraft, including extended flights over water and the modified fuel system, introduced risks to the flight of which the crew must have been aware. No Safety Recommendations were made.
