Engine Failures During Descent
While initiating descent, the pilot reported that the right engine failed and the propeller feathered automatically. In response, the pilot moved the left fuel tank selector to the left auxiliary tank. Shortly thereafter, the left engine also failed.
Mayday Call and Forced Landing
The pilot declared a mayday to St. Croix Tower and executed a forced landing in a field on the southeast coast of St. Croix. During the landing roll, the wings struck a fence, resulting in substantial damage to the aircraft.
Post-Recovery Engine Performance
After the aircraft was recovered, a new propeller was installed on the right engine. Subsequent tests showed that both engines and propellers performed normally, with no anomalies detected.
