| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
THE PILOT HAD FLOWN ABOUT 2 HOURS 33 MINUTES WHEN HE ADVISED CONTROLLERS ON DUTY THAT HE WAS OUT OF FUEL, AND BOTH ENGINES HAD QUIT. THE AIRPLANE CRASHED ABOUT 3 MILES FROM THE AIRPORT AND EXPLODED AND BURNED FOR ABOUT 5 HOURS. THE RIGHT WING SEPARATED WHEN IT STRUCK A TREE AND WAS NOT IN THE MAIN WRECKAGE AREA. THERE WAS NO FUEL IN THE RIGHT MAIN NOR AUXILIARY FUEL TANK, NOR WAS ANY RESIDUE OF FUEL FOUND ON THE GROUND OR FOLIAGE NEAR THE RIGHT WING.
Probable Cause: THE FAILURE OF THE PILOT-IN-COMMAND TO MANAGE THE FUEL AVAILABLE IN FLIGHT BY IMPROPERLY SELECTING THE FUEL SELECTORS TO FUEL AVAILABLE IN OTHER TANKS, RESULTING IN BOTH ENGINES LOSING POWER. CONTRIBUTING TO THE ACCIDENT WAS THE LACK OF SUITABLE TERRAIN FOR THE FORCED LANDING.
