## Narrative

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

THE STUDENT PILOT STATED THAT HE CHECKED THE COCKPIT FUEL GAUGES DURING PREFLIGHT AND SAW THAT THE GAUGES INDICATED FULL FUEL. THE INSTRUCTOR/PILOT-IN-COMMAND STATED THAT HE TRUSTED THE STUDENT TO ASSESS THE FUEL LEVEL DURING PREFLIGHT. NEITHER PILOT VISUALLY CONFIRMED FULL FUEL IN THE TANKS, AND NEITHER PILOT POSSESSED A MANUAL FUEL GAUGE/?DIPSTICK? TO VERIFY THE FUEL QUANTITY.

THE OWNER OF THE PART 61 FLIGHT SCHOOL STATED THAT THE AIRPLANE HAD BEEN OPERATED FOR APPROXIMATELY AN HOUR BEFORE THE INSTRUCTOR AND STUDENT TOOK THE AIRPLANE ON THE FLIGHT AND HAD NOT BEEN FUELED AGAIN PRIOR TO DEPARTURE.

THE STUDENT AND INSTRUCTOR FLEW A TRAINING CROSS COUNTRY FLIGHT FROM KPWK TO KLAF, TO KVPZ, AND BACK TO KPWK. THE STUDENT MADE TOUCH-AND-GO LANDINGS AT KLAF AND KVPZ, BUT THE PILOTS DID NOT STOP TO REFUEL AS THEY EXPECTED TO HAVE SUFFICIENT FUEL TO RETURN TO KPWK.

APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES SOUTHEAST OF KPWK, THE PILOTS BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE INTERMITTENT REDUCTIONS IN ENGINE POWER. THE AIRPLANE EVENTUALLY LOST ENGINE POWER APPROXIMATELY 3-5 MILES SOUTHEAST OF KPWK. THE PILOT WAS ABLE TO SAFELY EXECUTE A FORCED LANDING ON A GOLF COURSE IN GLENVIEW, IL.
