The Queen Air was climbing through 5,000 feet when the port engine failed, followed by the starboard engine, due to fuel starvation. The aircraft stalled during the attempted forced landing and crashed in trees in a residential area. The 2 crew members and 4 passengers all died.
The TAIC investigation found causal factors were a fuel tank mis-selection and failure to execute a forced landing, and a contributing factor of a fuel management regime with potential for mismanagement
