UPON COMPLETING A 35 MIN SIGHT-SEEING FLIGHT THE PLT ENTERED THE TRAFFIC PATTERN & PREPARED FOR LANDING. WHILE DESCENDING, BOTH ENGINES LOST ALL POWER. THE PLT STATED THAT HE REPOSITIONED THE FUEL SELECTORS TO THE AUX TANKS, POWER WAS RESTORED TO THE LEFT ENGINE, & THE ACFT 'STARTED A VMC ROLL TO THE RIGHT.' AT THE TIME THE ACFT WAS 300 FT AGL. UNABLE TO MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL, THE PLT REDUCED PWR & THE ACFT DESCENDED INTO TERRAIN COMING TO REST 500 YDS FROM THE ARPT. THE PLT ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE LOSS OF ENG POWER RUSULTED FROM HIS IMPROPER FUEL MANAGEMENT.
