Read the full NTSB narrative

THE INSTRUCTOR STATED THAT HE HAD OBSERVED THE STUDENT VISUALLY CHECK THE FUEL SUPPLY BU THAT HE DID NOT PERSONALLY INSPECT THE TANKS, ASSUMING THEY WERE FULL. ACCORDING TO THE PILOT, HIS ONLY CONFIRMATION OF FULL TANKS WAS THE STUDENTS REPEATED STATEMENTS THAT THERE WAS PLENTY OF FUEL, EVEN THOUGH THE FUEL GAUGES SHOWED ALMOST EMPTY. THIRTY MINUTES INTO THE FLIGHT THE ENGINE LOST POWER AND THEY LANDED IN AN OPEN, TERRACED FIELD. INSPECTION OF THE AIRCRAFT REVEALED NO FUEL IN THE TANKS, FUEL LINES, GASCOLATOR, OR SUMP DRAINS.
