Incident Overview
A pilot encountered difficulties while attempting to land at multiple airports due to foggy conditions. After initial approach, the pilot aborted the landing and diverted to a second airport. However, that airport was also affected by fog. A third diversion was then attempted.
Diversion Attempts
The pilot flew toward a third airport as an alternative. During this leg, both engines lost power. The pilot executed a forced landing in a field to avoid further complications.
Engine Failure and Landing
With both engines inoperative, the pilot guided the airplane to a landing in an open field. No other details regarding the condition of the aircraft or occupants were provided.
Investigation Findings
An on-site inspection revealed that the aircraft's fuel tanks were completely empty. The pilot acknowledged that he had not checked the fuel quantity prior to departure. He stated that he first realized the auxiliary tanks contained no fuel when he selected them during the diversion to the third airport.
