THE ACFT WAS EQUIPPED WITH AN O-320-E2D ENG, BUT THE PLT CALCULATED HIS FUEL CONSUMPTION BASED ON THE ORIGINAL ENG, WHICH WAS AN O-200-A. THE O-200-A ENG USED APRX 8 GAL/HR, WHEREAS, THE O-320-E2D USED ABOUT 10 GAL/HR. BEFORE REACHING THE DESTINATION ON THE 1ST LEG OF THE X-COUNTRY FLT, THE ACFT RAN OUT OF FUEL. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE PLT LANDED THE ACFT IN A CORN FIELD WHERE THE NOSE GEAR DUG IN & THE PLANE NOSED OVER.
