Engine cut out?

anyone experience this? i have no faults on or anything, i had my throttle at 100% yet as i was nearing the end of my flight the engine just cut out and i nose dived? i have plenty of fuel too.

It would help to know which plane you were flying, if you were using autopilot, autothrottle, your throttle settings, etc, to answer this question more precisely.

No throttle assists

Just literally cut out

You may need to switch the fuel tank. You’ll show plenty of fuel, but you need to change to left/right before one gets depleted. I think the switch is on the bottom left.

Ok I will try that next time

Likely this. Good call.

It took me 3 failed flights to figure this out. Zoom in on the G1000 fuel gauge and you will see 2 carrots, 1 for each fuel tank. Change them back and forth in flight to avoid the inverted dives I experienced when I lost power
