## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) N130CM WAS ON THE LOCALIZER APPROACH TO LUK WHEN THE PILOT GREGORY BURGESS, REPORTED LOSING THE RIGHT ENGINE. A FEW MINUTES LATER, THE LEFT ENGINE FAILED AND AN EMERGENCY LANDING WAS MADE. MR. BURGESS STATED TO FAA INSPECTORS THAT BOTH ENGINES FAILED DUE TO FUEL EXHAUSTION.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)
