A Rockwell Grand Commander 680 lost power in both engines on final approach to Harrison, Arkansas, after the fuel supply was not managed correctly during the approach. The pilot had not completed the landing checklist, so the fuel selectors were not set to the centre tank. The aircraft hit a tree and came down about 1,000 feet short of the runway.
