Analysis
The acft stalled into the ground in a semi-controlled crash forced landing after the engine quit due to fuel exhaustion.a post accident examination revealed only one ounce of fuel aboard the acft. The acft release form from Boeing aircraft to the pilot for the flt showed 75 gallons of fuel on board before release. Since that release the acft had flown 3 fltsfor a total of 4:44 hours. This does not consider ground operation. This averages out to 15.8 gallons per hour. The manual shows 15 gallons per hour for cruise at 75 percent power. The two occupants during the crash landing did not use their shoulder harness and both received serious injuries.
