Factual narrative

THE PILOT ESTIMATED THAT THE AIRCRAFT'S REDUCED FUEL QUANTITY WAS ADEQUATE FOR THE FLIGHT DURING HIS PREFLIGHT INSPECTION. AS THE AIRCRAFT DESCENDED FOR THE TRAFFIC PATTERN NEAR THE DESTINATION AIRPORT BOTH ENGINES FAILED. AFTER THE LOSS OF POWER THE PILOT EXECUTED A FORCED LANDING INTO A PARK WITH THE LANDING GEAR NOT FULLY EXTENDED. THE AIRCRAFT IMPACTED THE TERRAIN AND SLID INTO A FENCE BEFORE COMING TO A STOP.
