Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The plt contacted approach control for VFR staging to airport and radar service. The plt later indicated a forced landing was necessary due to fuel exhaustion. The plt calculated full fuel tanks for flt but failed to recall two local flights that were made without refueling and to take into consideration strong headwinds.
