well with the max endurance of the pc 12 sipping 300 pnds or less at 29000 and a full fuel load of 2700 lbs with 4 and gear . it can be a bladder bustin flt > time on station so and this is only spec if fatigue re how many tours the folks had done the amount of flts in the last say 10 days and duration ,
lead to some fatigue induced complacency and fuel exhaustion?

sad to here and sincere condolences to the families :(
