Good point. If they thought it was mechanical, probably
not, but if they thought it was fuel management, or pilot
error contributed to it, they might well give him a ride.

You don't get a 709 ride for running out of gas. What are they going to
do, sit there and watch you pump gas into your plane? A 709 ride
retests you on what you obviously failed to do properly that caused your
wreck.
Which would be flight planning in the case of a fuel issue. And yes you
can get a 709.
