additional information

According AAIB report the flight started at Dortmund - EDLW - proceeded to Arnsberg - EDLA and from there to Langeoog -EDWL. From EDWL it apparently went straight back to EDLA.
The distance EDLA - EDWL - as a crow flies is about 280 Km = 150 NM.
Empty tanks, no fuel found ?? But there is no refuelling possibility on Langeoog airfield - EDWL - !!
The max. range of a Saratoga apparently is more than double the distance of all flights covered by the accident aircraft known so far on that day.
