THE PILOT WAS DESCENDING THROUGH 4000 FEET EN ROUTE TO HIS DESTINATION WHICH WAS 75 MILES AWAY WHEN THE LEFT ENGINE LOST POWER. THE PILOT STATED THAT HE FOLLOWED THE EMERGENCY CHECK LIST AND POWER WAS RESTORED; HOWEVER, SHORTLY THEREAFTER BOTH ENGINES LOST POWER. THE PILOT RADIOED HIS DESTINATION APPROACH CONTROL THAT HE HAD A SICK PASSENGER ON BOARD, AND ASKED FOR THE CLOSEST AIRPORT. HE WAS PROVIDED VECTORS TO AN AIRPORT 10 MILES AWAY, BUT DECIDED TO MAKE A FORCED LANDING IN A FIELD AS HE STATED THAT HE WAS LOW ON FUEL. ACCORDING TO THE FAA, A VISUAL INSPECTION OF BOTH NACELLE FUEL TANKS DISCLOSED NO EVIDENCE OF FUEL, AND NO NOTICEABLE FUEL VAPORS WERE PRESENT. THE EXAMINATION ALSO REVEALED THAT THE TANKS WERE NOT RUPTURED OR DAMAGED. THE PILOT REPORTED THAT THERE WAS NO MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION, NOR COULD THE BASIS FOR THE REPORT OF THE SICK PASSENGER BE ESTABLISHED.
Probable Cause: THE PILOT'S IN-FLIGHT PLANNING/DECISION WHICH RESULTED IN FUEL EXHAUSTION.
