According to the official NTSB report into the accident, "mis-management of the fuel supply" caused the aircraft to make an emergency landing at Coleman Municipal Airport, Coleman, Texas, whilst the aircraft was en route from Dallas to San Angelo (both locations in Texas). The NTSB report goes on to add the following:
"PROBABLE CAUSE(S):
INADEQUATE PREFLIGHT PREPARATION AND/OR PLANNING
