NTSB summary
HISTORY OF FLIGHT On June 13, 2001, about 2122 eastern daylight time, a Beech C90, YV2466P, Venezuelan registered to a private individual, operating as a Title 14 CFR Part 91 personal flight, crashed while on final approach to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, (FLL) Florida. Night visual meteorological conditions prevailed and an international instrument flight plan had been filed. The aircraft was destroyed, a Venezuelan single engine private pilot-rated passenger in the right pilot's seat was fatally injured, and the left seated Venezuelan BE-90 rated captain was seriously injured, as was a passenger in the cabin. The flight originated from Caracas, Venezuela's Oscar Machado Zuloaga International Airport, (SVCS) at 1516 eastern daylight time.

When YV2466P made his initial radio call to FLL tower at 2117, he was given the following instructions, " YV2466P, you are number one for [runway] 9R, winds are 140 at 7, cross the shoreline at one thousand", [feet-altitude, msl]. At 2120, the tower controller transmitted, "2466P cleared to land." At 2121, the pilot of YV2366P transmitted, "I need the field, I have difficulties here...small problem with engine." The controller transmitted, "wind check, 140 at 8, no need to acknowledge", and estimated YV2466P was 500 feet agl, and 3/4 mile from the threshold to runway 9R with landing lights illuminated, when he momentarily directed h
Probable cause
the pilot's failure to properly plan fuel consumption and to perform an en route refueling, resulting in a total loss of engine power due to fuel exhaustion while on downwind leg for landing at eventual destination, causing an emergency descent and collision with a highway embankment.
