What happened
During an approach to Miami-Opa Locka Airport, the aircraft experienced a total loss of power as both engines ceased functioning at the same time. Following the dual engine failure, the pilot was unable to maintain control of the plane, leading to an aerodynamic stall. The aircraft subsequently impacted the ground a few hundred yards before reaching the runway.
A fire broke out following the impact, which resulted in the destruction of the airframe. Despite the intensity of the post-crash fire, all seven occupants were successfully rescued from the wreckage without further reported injuries.
Findings
Investigations into the accident concluded that the simultaneous failure of both engines was the result of fuel starvation. This condition was attributed to the pilot's failure to properly manage the fuel supply and a lack of attention to the aircraft's fuel levels during the flight.
