- Date: August 18, 2000
- Aircraft: Beechcraft 60 Duke
- Location: Atlanta-Fulton County-Brown Field, Georgia, United States
- Fatalities: 1
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The pilot's failure to plan adequate fuel for the flight, which led to fuel exhaustion and loss of engine power.
A Beechcraft Duke had engine trouble, was refuelled before the repairs were signed off, and attempted an instrument flight back toward its origin. The pilot diverted when low on fuel, and both engines quit on approach. The airplane struck trees and the ground short of the runway, and no fuel was found in the fuel system. The pilot was killed.
