AFTER DEPARTING DEXTER MUNICIPAL AIRPORT, MO (DXE), THE AIRCRAFT RAN OUT OF FUEL APPROXIMATELY 1.5 MILES SOUTHWEST OF THE AIRPORT. THE PLANE DESCENDED AT A VERY STEEP ANGLE,  STRUCK TREE BRANCHES, 8 TO 10 INCHES THICK, AND IMPACTED THE GROUND LEFT WING FIRST.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
