PIPER PA-31-350-T1020
ON A FLT FROM NEWARK, NJ TO RICHMOND, VA, THE DEPARTURE TIME WAS DELAYED, AND SUBSEQUENTLY, THE ACFT DID NOT ARRIVE AT RICHMOND UNTIL AFTER THE REFUELING FACILITIES WERE CLOSED. THE PLT DECIDED THERE WAS SUFFICIENT FUEL ABOARD TO COMPLETE THE NEXT FLT TO THE WASHINGTON NATIONAL ARPT, SO HE DEPARTED ON THAT FLT. HOWEVER, ABOUT 21 MI FROM HIS DESTINATION, HE DECLARED A LOW-FUEL STATE & REQUESTED VECTORS TO THE NEAREST ARPT. VECTORS WERE PROVIDED TOWARD DAVIDSON ARMY AIRFIELD. HOWEVER, BOTH ENGS SUBSEQUENTLY LOST POWER FROM LACK OF FUEL & THE ACFT CRASHED IN A WOODED AREA APRX 500 YDS SHORT OF RWY 32.
