What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) On August 13, 2009 at 1603 the regional pocatello tower received an emergnecy call from N99BE stating he had his r/h engine shutdown in flight. Within four more minutes N99BE called three more times with the final call stating both engines were down and he was gliding to Bear Trap Airport. The pilot feathered both engines but overshot the approach and attempted a no power go around. He lost airspeed and put his aircraft down about a half mile north east of the airport. On touch down he was able to maintain control for 120 yards before crossing an old dirt road, breaking off the nose gear flipping his aircraft ovr on its top. The aircraft was substantially damaged and both engine mounts were broken off the airframe. Rudder and wing damage were note with the rudder being bent almost off the aft of the airframe. Investigation showed that the aircraft had no fuel in its tanks with no fuel spill on ground or leaks noted. The pilot was present during the inspection and didn't understand why he didn't have fuel but concurred there was not fuel present in the tanks or lines.
