Read the full NTSB narrative

THE ACFT CRASHED WHILE ON A ILS APPROACH TO THE GAINSVILLE, AIRPORT. INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE PLT HAD ADVISED APPROACH CONTROL THAT HE WAS 'LOW ON FUEL.' AFTER TWO MISSED APPROACHES THE PLT RADIOED THAT HE WAS 'OUT OF FUEL.' THE PLT DID NOT HAVE CHARTS OR APPROACH PLATES ABOARD THE ACFT, HOWEVER ATC WAS NOT AWARE OF THIS FACTOR. ATTEMPTS TO ACQUIRE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FROM THE PLT HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL.
