The loss of power to the rear engine due to fuel starvation during takeoff, which resulted from the fuel selector valve being inadvertently moved to the “off” position, and resulted in the airplane’s inability to climb.

Apr 08, 2009 Pittsville, WI N2489S Fatal (1) The pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed which resulted in an aerodynamic stall at a low altitude.
Mar 27, 2009 Stillwater, OK N373E Fatal (1) substantial The total loss of dual engine power due to fuel exhaustion as a result of the pilot's inadequate fuel planning.
May 17, 2008 West Creek, NJ N5382S Fatal (2) substantial
The pilot's departure with insufficient fuel for the planned flight, and his improper in-flight fuel management, which resulted in a total loss of pow…

The pilot's departure with insufficient fuel for the planned flight, and his improper in-flight fuel management, which resulted in a total loss of power in both engines due to fuel starvation. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's fatigue, which was precipitated by his work activities during the days just prior to the accident flight.

Jun 19, 2007 Moixent, SP EC-HMC Fatal (1) destroyed Investigation pending
Nov 08, 2006 Alamogordo, NM N2500S Fatal (1) destroyed The pilot's incapacitation due to a heart attack while landing, which resulted in a loss of control and an on ground collision with objects.
Sep 02, 2006 Prescott, AZ N1893M Fatal (3) destroyed

A loss of power in the rear engine for undermined reasons. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's failure to promptly and correctly configure the airplane for single engine flight, and to maintain an adequate airspeed, which resulted in a stall mush.

Aug 16, 2006 Ft. Good Hope, CA C-FWHP Fatal (6) destroyed Investigation pending
Nov 16, 2004 Drake, AZ N133JW Fatal (3) destroyed

the pilot's failure to maintain airspeed above stall speed while maneuvering at low altitude, which resulted in an accelerated stall and spin. A factor in the accident was the pilot's performance of maneuvering flight at an altitude insufficient to allow for recovery from an accelerated stall.

Aug 28, 2004 Bresso, IT I-ATAR Fatal (1) substantial Investigation pending
Jun 16, 2004 Carson City, NV N63BB Fatal (1) destroyed the pilot's failure to maintain an adequate airspeed while maneuvering during a go-around that led to an inadvertent stall spin.

Sep 24, 2001 St. George, UT N337PM Fatal (1) destroyed
total loss of engine power on both engines due to fuel starvation and the pilot's inability to access the available fuel supply. Contributing factors…

total loss of engine power on both engines due to fuel starvation and the pilot's inability to access the available fuel supply. Contributing factors were the pilot's inadequate supervision of the refueling operation, and his intentional operation of the airplane with known deficiencies in equipment (no fuel selector valve handles or placards installed).

Jul 01, 2000 MARSHALL, AK N63MR Fatal (1) destroyed
