THE AIRPLANE HAD BEEN USED FOR A CHARTER FLIGHT AND WAS NOT REFUELED UPON RETURN TO ITS BASE. THE ACCIDENT PILOT REQUESTED THAT THE AIRPLANE BE FUELED, WHICH DID NOT OCCUR. WHILE CONDUCTING HIS PRE-FLIGHT INSPECTION, HE WAS DISTRACTED BY OTHER ACTIVITY AROUND THE AIRPLANE. DURING THE RETURN LEG OF THE PERSONAL FLIGHT, WHICH WAS A WEEKEND FISHING TRIP, BOTH ENGINES QUIT. NO EVIDENCE OF FUEL WAS FOUND IN THE AIRPLANE AT THE CRASH SITE. THE FLIGHT'S ENDURANCE WAS CALCULATED TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE FUEL REMAINING IN THE AIRPLANE FOLLOWING THE PREVIOUS CHARTER FLIGHT.
