The pilot said that during start-up procedures, because snow was falling, “all deice systems except the wing boots” were activated. The pilot had not deiced the wings “because the snow was blowing off the top of the wing,” the report said.
After the accident, rough granular ice was ob-served atop both wings; the report said that“the shape of the ice defined the shape of the fuel tank in each wing.”
The airplane’s fuel tanks had been topped off about two hours before the flight. The fuel was obtained from a truck that had been kept in a heated hangar; the airplane had been kept in an unheated hangar, with the hangar doors open.

isual meteorological conditions prevailed for the approach and landing at an airport in the united States. after landing on Runway 7, the airplane overran the runway.
A routine weather report issued four minutes before the accident said that winds were from
160 degrees at 15 knots, with gusts to 20 knots. a special weather report issued 16 minutes after the accident showed winds from 190 degrees at
14 knots and included a statement that a wind
shift had occurred four minutes before the ac-cident.The report defined wind shift as a change
of wind direction of 45 degrees or more in less than 15 minutes with wind speed of at least 10
knots throughout the wind shift.

two flights were uneventful, but during the third flight, the flight crew observed that the low-fuel-level warning light had illuminated. Immediately after they told air traffic control that they planned to return to the airport, the airplane struck the ground.
The accident report said that the cause of the accident was the “noncompliance by the flight crew with the approved emergency operat-ing procedures of the … flight manual (i.e., selection of [the] fuel-supply selector switch of both the engines to [the cross-feed] position when [the] low-fuel-warning light illuminated, thereby connecting both [engines’] fuel supply to depleted wing tanks), resulting in fuel starva-tion of … both engines, though the remaining fuel in the fuselage tank was adequate for mak-ing a safe landing.”
