Narrative:

On our return flight from montego bay (mkjs) with full fuel tank, tank was topped off (552 gals), we dropped off passenger in bimini (mybs) the aircraft had dual engine failure on short final at our destination in ZZZ, at an altitude of 200 ft. The total flying time from start to our final landing including our stop was 2 hours 25 mins. The right engine failed first and when attempting a single engine approach after 30 seconds the left engine failed as well. Based on our calculations and both fuel quantity gauge and fuel counter the aircraft had between 1000 pounds and 1100 pounds of fuel left. Please note that this specific aircraft had 2 engine failures on prior flts between FL370 and FL410. In both cases it was the right engine. Upon loosing both engines on final I was unable to make it to the runway and chose to land on the taxiway which was closer to me. After touching down I realized cleared that there was a mooney on the taxiway, who had just the perpendicular runway to the one I was supposed to land on. The tower tried to advise the mooney to make an immediate left turn which he seems to have misunderstood and turned right instead and thereafter was told to turn right which he mistook and turned left. In the process of trying to swerve around the airplane we scratched him with our left tip tank over his right wing and caused damage to his aileron. The damage was minor and nobody was injured. I believe that fuel starvation to the engine may have caused this incident, although I had calculated to arrive with 35 mins of fuel for VFR reserves I had to make an unexpected steep turn to go from downwind to final as instructed by the tower I was to maintain 1500 ft and extend downwind until called by the tower at which point they instructed me to make a short approach. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated the airplane was on a first flight out of a 600 hour check and operated normally until the final approach at ZZZ where both engines flamed out. The reporter said the fuel quantity indicators and fuel counters showed between 1000 pounds and 1100 pounds of fuel. The reporter stated the FAA stuck the left and right wing tanks after the incident but would give the reporter no information on the findings. The reporter said no information has been received from maintenance on any action taken on the left and right engines. The reporter stated the maintenance work accomplished on the 600 hour check was not satisfactory and may have contributed to this incident. The reporter said the light aircraft that was struck on the taxiway incurred damage to the right wing aileron and edge of the outboard flap. The reporter stated the lear 24 had scratches on the left wingtip tank. The reporter said an appointment has been scheduled shortly for a meeting with the FAA to discuss the investigation.

Title: A LEAR 24 ON FINAL APCH AT 200 FT HAD BOTH ENGS FLAMEOUT. ACFT LANDED ON A TXWY WHERE IT STRUCK ANOTHER SINGLE ENG LIGHT ACFT.

Narrative: ON OUR RETURN FLT FROM MONTEGO BAY (MKJS) WITH FULL FUEL TANK, TANK WAS TOPPED OFF (552 GALS), WE DROPPED OFF PAX IN BIMINI (MYBS) THE ACFT HAD DUAL ENG FAILURE ON SHORT FINAL AT OUR DEST IN ZZZ, AT AN ALT OF 200 FT. THE TOTAL FLYING TIME FROM START TO OUR FINAL LNDG INCLUDING OUR STOP WAS 2 HRS 25 MINS. THE R ENG FAILED FIRST AND WHEN ATTEMPTING A SINGLE ENG APCH AFTER 30 SECONDS THE L ENG FAILED AS WELL. BASED ON OUR CALCULATIONS AND BOTH FUEL QUANTITY GAUGE AND FUEL COUNTER THE ACFT HAD BTWN 1000 LBS AND 1100 LBS OF FUEL LEFT. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS SPECIFIC ACFT HAD 2 ENG FAILURES ON PRIOR FLTS BTWN FL370 AND FL410. IN BOTH CASES IT WAS THE R ENG. UPON LOOSING BOTH ENGS ON FINAL I WAS UNABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE RWY AND CHOSE TO LAND ON THE TXWY WHICH WAS CLOSER TO ME. AFTER TOUCHING DOWN I REALIZED CLRED THAT THERE WAS A MOONEY ON THE TXWY, WHO HAD JUST THE PERPENDICULAR RWY TO THE ONE I WAS SUPPOSED TO LAND ON. THE TWR TRIED TO ADVISE THE MOONEY TO MAKE AN IMMEDIATE L TURN WHICH HE SEEMS TO HAVE MISUNDERSTOOD AND TURNED R INSTEAD AND THEREAFTER WAS TOLD TO TURN R WHICH HE MISTOOK AND TURNED L. IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO SWERVE AROUND THE AIRPLANE WE SCRATCHED HIM WITH OUR L TIP TANK OVER HIS R WING AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO HIS AILERON. THE DAMAGE WAS MINOR AND NOBODY WAS INJURED. I BELIEVE THAT FUEL STARVATION TO THE ENG MAY HAVE CAUSED THIS INCIDENT, ALTHOUGH I HAD CALCULATED TO ARRIVE WITH 35 MINS OF FUEL FOR VFR RESERVES I HAD TO MAKE AN UNEXPECTED STEEP TURN TO GO FROM DOWNWIND TO FINAL AS INSTRUCTED BY THE TWR I WAS TO MAINTAIN 1500 FT AND EXTEND DOWNWIND UNTIL CALLED BY THE TWR AT WHICH POINT THEY INSTRUCTED ME TO MAKE A SHORT APCH. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR STATED THE AIRPLANE WAS ON A FIRST FLT OUT OF A 600 HR CHK AND OPERATED NORMALLY UNTIL THE FINAL APCH AT ZZZ WHERE BOTH ENGS FLAMED OUT. THE RPTR SAID THE FUEL QUANTITY INDICATORS AND FUEL COUNTERS SHOWED BTWN 1000 LBS AND 1100 LBS OF FUEL. THE RPTR STATED THE FAA STUCK THE L AND R WING TANKS AFTER THE INCIDENT BUT WOULD GIVE THE RPTR NO INFO ON THE FINDINGS. THE RPTR SAID NO INFO HAS BEEN RECEIVED FROM MAINT ON ANY ACTION TAKEN ON THE L AND R ENGS. THE RPTR STATED THE MAINT WORK ACCOMPLISHED ON THE 600 HR CHK WAS NOT SATISFACTORY AND MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THIS INCIDENT. THE RPTR SAID THE LIGHT ACFT THAT WAS STRUCK ON THE TXWY INCURRED DAMAGE TO THE R WING AILERON AND EDGE OF THE OUTBOARD FLAP. THE RPTR STATED THE LEAR 24 HAD SCRATCHES ON THE L WINGTIP TANK. THE RPTR SAID AN APPOINTMENT HAS BEEN SCHEDULED SHORTLY FOR A MEETING WITH THE FAA TO DISCUSS THE INVESTIGATION.
