L ENG OF AN SMA TWIN QUIT ON FINAL DUE TO FUEL STARVATION DURING A MULTI ENG TRAINING FLT.

Narrative

TURNING BASE TO FINAL; THE L ENG LOST PWR DUE TO FUEL STARVATION. THE TANK WAS EMPTY. I TOOK CTL FROM THE STUDENT AND LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT. I PURPOSELY DIDN'T FEATHER THE ENG BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS TO THE TWR; GND CTL OR THE FSDO LOCATED ON THE FIELD. I TAXIED WITHOUT INCIDENT. ONLY MY STUDENT; MYSELF AND MY EMPLOYER KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. THE PROB BEGAN WHEN I FAILED TO ASK THE STUDENT HOW MUCH FUEL WAS ON BOARD PRIOR TO TKOF. I NORMALLY DO THIS BUT THIS TIME I DIDN'T. I DON'T KNOW WHY BECAUSE I NORMALLY ASK OR PHYSICALLY CHK MYSELF. THIS TIME I DIDN'T. IT WAS FURTHER COMPLICATED BY THE FACT THAT I DIDN'T FOLLOW THE STUDENT AS HE DID ALL OF THE RUNUP AND PRETKOF CHKS. I HAD PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITY TO DO THIS. I GOT COMPLACENT. I ALSO HAD ABOUT 6 OR 8 CHANCES TO CHK THE FUEL GAUGES INFLT. AGAIN; I DIDN'T. THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS DO NOT EVER GET COMPLACENT ABOUT FLYING. I DID; AND AT THE LEAST I SET A BAD EXAMPLE FOR A STUDENT PLT. IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. LET ME CORRECT ONE THING. I DID FINALLY FEATHER AFTER ROLLOUT AND WHEN CLRING THE RWY. I TAXIED TO PARKING AT THE FAR END OF THE FIELD TO OUR SCHOOL. LUCKILY TWR; EVEN THOUGH THEY DIDN'T KNOW I HAD A PROB; LET ME TAXI TO THE END OF THE RWY PRIOR TO TURNING OFF.
