Two company pilots were repositioning the airplane when it experienced a total loss of engine power. The left-seat pilot had to maneuver around obstructions to perform a forced landing to a field. The airplane landed with partial flaps on a soft field. A landing using full flaps would have reduced excess impact energy and mitigated airplane damage and injury. The left-seat pilot reported that he did not use his available seat belt. Examination of the airplane revealed no usable fuel onboard. No mechanical anomalies were noted that would have precluded normal airplane operation.
Probable Cause: The pilots’ inadequate preflight planning and fuel management, which resulted in fuel exhaustion, a loss of engine power, and a forced landing on a soft field. Contributing to the accident was the flying pilot’s improper use of flaps during the forced landing.
