That's what happened to a Beech King Air turbo a
couple of weeks ago near me. Ran out of gas, for
as yet undetermined reasons. Shame to see such
a nice plane totalled, but at least no fatalities.

The guys at Stevens have a good reputation.

I'd like to know how many fuel exhaustions were associated with a
successful emergency off-field landing. Running out of fuel should
not automatically lead to a crash/fatality if the pilot practices his
emergency procedures regularly. This does not excuse the need to have
30+ mins excess over plan of course.

The AOPA writes a yearly report on accidents (see
http://www.aopa.org/asf/publications/nall.html) that addresses questions
like that; here's the latest one:

Go to page 14 and you should find an approximate answer - at least for the
year they examined in that report.

Since you allegedly fly a plane, when was the last time you practiced
your emergency procedures OUTSIDE a simulator?

How often do you practice OUTSIDE a simulator to define regularly?
Once a day, once a month, once a year?

Very direct questions above. Can you give me direct answers?

3 weeks ago. I don't sim -although that might save me $$ -unless I
were to pay to use a full cockpit 737 sim!

About every 2 months. What about you?

Very direct questions above. *Can you give me direct answers?

If you are trying to 'prove' I don't fly real planes you should just
give up.
