Accident Overview
A twin-engine airplane operating a non-scheduled domestic passenger repositioning flight experienced a loss of engine power from both engines while on approach. The crew executed a forced landing, during which the aircraft impacted snow-covered terrain, resulting in substantial damage.
Fuel and Pre-Impact Condition
Prior to departure, the pilot requested that only the outboard fuel tanks be refueled. An on-scene examination of the airplane after the accident found that all fuel tanks were empty. No pre-impact anomalies were identified with the aircraft, indicating that the airframe, engines, and systems were functioning normally before the power loss.
Investigation Notes
Investigators documented the absence of fuel in the tanks and noted that the forced landing was necessitated by the in-flight loss of engine power. The specific cause of the dual engine power loss was not stated in the investigation source, though the fuel exhaustion is a notable finding. No other contributing factors were reported.
