DEF Contamination Causes Dead-Stick Landing, No Injuries - AVweb

Despite a major awareness and training campaign, the National Air Transportation Association says diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) remains a potentially catastrophic hazard for aviation. In a news release, the organization said a business jet in the southeastern U.S. recently experienced a double flameout and glided to a dead stick landing 280 miles away. There were no injuries but the report didn't say if the aircraft was damaged. It was the fifth such incident in five years and so far there have been no injuries, but aircraft engines and fuel systems were damaged.
