AN ACR SAAB 340 WAS DAMAGED UNSPECIFIED WHEN IT HAD TO LAND ENRTE.

Narrative

ON THE EVENING OF FEB/TUE/94 I WAS FLT FOLLOWING ALL MY ASSIGNED FLTS. I WAS INFORMED BY ONE OF MY SUPVRS THAT FLT X WENT DOWN IN A REMOTE AREA NEAR BATON ROUGE; LA. I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM THE CAPT OF THE FLT. HE TOLD ME BOTH ENGS HAD FLAMED OUT; AND THAT HE HAD TO LAND AT THE CLOSEST AVAILABLE ARPT (FALSE RIVER AIRPARK). I KEPT HIM ON THE LINE TO ASK THE USUAL QUESTIONS FOR AN EVENT OF THIS NATURE (LOCATION; ANY INJURIES; STATUS OF ACFT; ETC). I WAS INFORMED THERE WERE NO INJURIES; THE ACFT AND LNDG GEAR WERE BOTH INTACT; AND LCL POLICE WERE ON SITE. IT IS EQUALLY IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THERE WERE NO WRITE- UPS ON THE ACFT; RWYS AT THE DEST WERE CLR AND DRY; THERE WERE NO RESTRICTIVE NOTAMS; AND NO SIGNIFICANT WX OCCURRED DURING THE FLT. NO ALTERNATE WAS REQUIRED FOR THE DEST; HOWEVER; ADDITIONAL FUEL WAS GIVEN FOR THIS FLT TO BE USED AT THE CREW'S DISCRETION. THIS INCIDENT IS CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR IS A DISPATCHER FOR A MAJOR FEEDER AIRLINE. THE ACFT HAD PLENTY OF FUEL ABOARD. THE CAPT; WHO IS NO LONGER FLYING FOR ANY COMPANY; APPARENTLY SHUT DOWN BOTH ENGS ON HIS SAAB 340 INFLT INADVERTENTLY AND WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THEM. THE FO IS BACK ON THE LINE WITH HIS ACR. THERE WAS SOME DAMAGE; UNSPECIFIED; AND NO PERSONNEL INJURY.
