What happened
While descending through 4,000 feet en route to a destination located 75 miles away, the left engine of the aircraft lost power. The pilot attempted to follow emergency checklists and successfully restored power to the engine; however, shortly after this recovery, both engines lost power.
During the emergency, the pilot contacted destination approach control to report a sick passenger on board and requested vectors to the nearest airport. Although controllers provided vectors to an airport situated 10 miles away, the pilot elected to perform a forced landing in a field, stating that the aircraft was low on fuel.
All occupants were not injured. The pilot later reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions present during the flight, and investigators could not verify the report regarding a sick passenger.
