- Cause: The pilot did not understand the fuel system and inadvertently cut off fuel to both engines during troubleshooting.
A Beechcraft King Air 90 on final approach to Pontiac reported a fuel crossfeed warning. While troubleshooting the fuel system the pilot lost power on the right engine, and feathering it caused the left engine to lose power too. He ditched in a lake short of the airport and the sole occupant was not hurt.
