Incident Details
The pilot performed a preflight inspection and estimated that the aircraft's reduced fuel quantity was sufficient for the flight. As the aircraft descended to enter the traffic pattern near the destination airport, both engines failed simultaneously. The power loss was total and nonmechanical in nature.
Forced Landing Sequence
Following the engine failure, the pilot initiated a forced landing procedure and selected a park as the landing site. During the landing, the landing gear was not fully extended. The aircraft impacted the ground and subsequently slid into a fence, which brought it to a stop.
Official Findings
The investigation identified three occurrences. The first occurrence, loss of engine power (total) during normal descent, had findings: (1) fuel exhaustion, (2) inaccurate fuel consumption calculations by the pilot in command, and (3) inadequate preflight planning by the pilot in command. The second occurrence was the forced landing during emergency descent; no additional findings were listed for that phase. The third occurrence was an on-ground collision with an object during landing; findings included (4) the object being a fence, and (5) the pilot in command did not attain full landing gear extension.
