## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) STUDENT PILOT SELECTED THE "OFF" POSITION ON THE FUEL SELECTOR INSTEAD OF THE "RIGHT" POSITION. STUDENT PULLED THE POWER BACK AND THOUGHT THE ENGINE WAS IDLING ON DESCENT TO THE AIRPORT WHILE IT WAS ACTUALLY WIND MILLING. WHEN POWER WAS APPLIED UPON APPROACH IT WAS DISCOVERED THERE WASN'T ANY. FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ TOOK CONTROL AND LANDED THE AIRCRAFT ON WILLOW STREET JUST SHORT OF THE HYANNIS AIRPORT. NO ONE HAD LOOKED AT THE INSTRUMENTS FROM THE TIME THE FUEL WAS SELECTED.
