The airline transport pilot was conducting an air taxi passenger flight when the airplane's engine lost power and he was forced to make an emergency landing. The airplane received minor damage during the subsequent landing on tundra-covered terrain. The flight consisted of four takeoffs and landings, and had covered about 160 miles. An FAA inspector inspected the airplane, and found no usable amount of fuel in either wing tank, with no signs of leakage or spillage. According to the FAA inspector, the pilot indicated he added fuel prior to his departure, but did not observe the actual amount of fuel in the tanks. In his written report to the NTSB, the pilot did not indicate that there were any mechanical problems with the airplane. When the airplane was refueled, it started and ran without difficulties.
Probable Cause: The pilot's inadequate in-flight planning/decision which resulted in fuel exhaustion and the loss of engine power.
