What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On March 19th 2022, a Paradise aircraft UAS LLC P1 aircraft was performing touch and goes at Glendale municipal airport. On the 3rd touch and go the aircraft began to sputter and lost power at this point the student turned control of the aircraft over to the CFI. The CFI performed an emergency landing on a nearby street. The aircraft sustained substantial damage due to striking the curb. There was one minor injury to the student. During the preflight the CFI allowed the student to dip the tanks and even though he looked at the stick it is believed that the student dipped the tanks at an angle which showed more fuel than what was actually in the tanks. After approximately 1.5 hours of operation the aircraft ran out of fuel(a total of about 1/4 gallon was drained from both tanks.)while doing a touch and go and the CFI was forced to do an emergency landing on a near by street, the aircraft struck a curb ripping the nose landing gear and the right main landing gear from the aircraft , the aircraft right wing then struck a curb damaging the right hand wing. The CFI has received oral counseling and additional training from the flight school.
