(-23) Inspector's statement: at approximately 1345 EDT, N732WN, piloted by privacy data omitted made an emergency landing from south to north on a road construction site in Kissimmee Florida. The construction site is the proposed junction of the new highway 429 and us 192. The aircraft nosed over and suffered substantial damage. The occupants were not injured. At approximately 0830 N732WN, a Cessna CE-T210M piloted by privacy data omitted departed ashtabula county airport (hzy) with his brother ^priv^ and with the cargo compartment and rear seat full of personal items such as suitcases, golf clubs, and boxes that appeared to be filled with clothes. The intended destination was winter haven, Florida (gif). The aircraft was fueled by ashtabula county airport with 86.82 gallons of 100LL. It is not known how long the engine ran on the ground. The pilot privacy data omitted stated that his altitude varied between 12,500 feet to 13,500 feet, depending on clouds. He said he alternated fuel tanks during his trip and documented when he used each tank: left tank 0:09-1:09 1HR 9:30AM; right tank 1:08-2:37 1.5HR 11:01AM; left tank 2:37-3:36 1 hr 12:00PM; right tank 3:36-4:43 1HR 7MIN 1:06PM (right tank now empty). The pilot privacy data omitted stated, at approximately 1330 they were over Kissimmee, Florida when the engine began running rough and then stopped. He turned toward Kissimmee airport but determined he would not be able to reach the runway. He said he turned the aircraft toward a long straight dirt area that was under construction and landed the aircraft successfully. On rollout, he determined the aircraft would not be able to stop before reaching a forty-foot drop off in the construction site. He elected to steer the aircraft into a ditch where the nose gear sank into softer sand and the aircraft nosed over and came to rest on its back. As a result, the vertical fin was bent and broken half way along the spar. The right wing spar was bent down and broken half way along the spar and at the tip. The nose landing gear strut supports were broken and the gear was bent to the right. One propeller blade was bent aft (no power). The engine cowl showed evidence of contact with the backside of the spinner. The oseola fire department personnel on the scene reported no fuel leaking from the aircraft and no fuel odor. Tach time was 2592.4. On August 11, 2005, the investigation continued at the pilot's privacy data omitted place of business in winter haven, Florida. The aircraft was located in his workshop. The aircraft had the wings removed but was otherwise intact. The fuel system was inspected. The fuel strainer and the two reservoir tanks (fuselage) yielded a total of 4 ounces of fuel. The flow divider contained a negligible amount of fuel. The pilot privacy data omitted stated his route took them past youngstown, Ohio; charlotte, north carolina; savannah, Georgia and jacksonville, Florida. He said for most of the trip he had 26 inches of manifold pressure, 63% power and 2250 RPM. When asked his opinion of what happened he said he must have run out of fuel. There is not enough detailed information to mathematically prove if the pilot privacy data omitted ran out of fuel. However, the physical evidences indicates that he did.
