What happened
During the final approach phase of flight into Seattle-Boeing Field, an aircraft suffered a simultaneous loss of power in both engines. As the plane lost altitude, it collided with electrical wires before impacting a parking lot. The impact triggered a fire that consumed the aircraft and destroyed seven nearby vehicles. The pilot sustained injuries during the accident.
Findings
Investigations into the crash identified several contributing elements related to the loss of power. The primary cause was determined to be fuel starvation resulting from improper fuel management. Specifically, the crew failed to follow established checklists, leaving the fuel selector positioned on the nose tank, which led to the engine failures.
