A Long-EZ two-seaterDenver died on October 12, 1997, when his experimental plane, N555JD, crashed into near, while making a series of at the nearby. He was the only occupant of the aircraft.

Identification was not possible using dental records so only his fingerprints confirmed the pilot was Denver. The official cause of death was resulting from the crash.Denver was a pilot with over 2,700 hours of experience. He had for single-engine land and sea, multi-engine land, glider and instrument. He also held a in his Learjet.

He had recently purchased the Long-EZ aircraft, made by someone else from a kit, and had taken a half-hour checkout flight with the aircraft the day before his accident.Denver was not legally permitted to fly at the time of the crash. In previous years, Denver had a number of arrests.

In 1996, nearly a year before the accident, the learned that Denver had failed to maintain sobriety by failing to refrain entirely from and revoked his medical certification. However, the accident was not influenced by alcohol use since an autopsy found no sign of alcohol or other drugs in Denver's body.Post-accident investigation by the (NTSB) showed that the leading cause of the accident was Denver's inability to switch fuel tanks during flight. The quantity of fuel had been depleted during the plane's flight to Monterey and in several brief practice takeoffs and landings Denver performed at the airport immediately prior to the final flight. His newly purchased experimental Rutan had an unusual fuel tank selector valve handle configuration.

Diet for volvulus. The selector valve handle had been intended by the plane's designer to be located between the pilot's legs. The builder instead had placed it behind the pilot's left shoulder.

The fuel gauge was also placed behind the pilot's seat and not visible to the person at the controls. An NTSB interview with the aircraft mechanic servicing Denver's plane revealed that he and Denver had discussed the inaccessibility of the cockpit fuel selector valve handle and its resistance to being turned.Before the flight, Denver and the mechanic had attempted to extend the reach of the handle, using a pair of. However, this did not solve the problem and the pilot still could not reach the handle while strapped into his seat.

NTSB officials' post-accident investigation showed that because of the positioning of the fuel selector valves, switching fuel tanks required the pilot to turn his body 90 degrees to reach the valve. This created a natural tendency to extend one's right foot against the right rudder pedal to support oneself while turning in the seat, which caused the aircraft to (nose right) and pitch up.The mechanic said he remarked to Denver that the fuel sight gauges were visible only to the rear cockpit occupant. Denver had asked how much fuel was shown. He told Denver there was 'less than half in the right tank and less than a quarter in the left tank'. He then provided Denver with an inspection mirror so he could look over his shoulder at the fuel gauges.

The mirror was later recovered in the wreckage. Denver said he would use the autopilot inflight to hold the airplane level while he turned the fuel selector valve. He turned down an offer to refuel, saying he would be flying for about an hour.The NTSB interviewed 20 witnesses about Denver's last flight. Six of them had seen the plane crash into the bay near Point Pinos. Four witnesses stated the aircraft was originally heading west. Five said they saw the plane in a steep bank, with four of them saying the bank was to the right (north). Twelve witnesses described seeing the aircraft in a steep nose-down descent.

Witnesses estimated the plane's altitude at between 350 and 500 feet (110 and 150 m) when heading toward the shoreline. Eight said that they heard a 'pop' or 'backfire', accompanied by a reduction in the engine noise level just before the airplane crashed into the sea.In addition to Denver's failing to refuel and his subsequent loss of control while attempting to switch fuel tanks, the NTSB determined there were other key factors that led to the accident. Foremost among these was his inadequate transition training on this type of aircraft and the builder's decision to locate the fuel selector handle in a difficult-to-reach location. The board issued recommendations on the requirement and enforcement of mandatory training standards for pilots operating experimental aircraft. It also emphasized the importance of mandatory ease of access to all controls, including fuel selectors and fuel gauges, in all aircraft.Posthumous recognition.
