## Analysis

THE ENGINE QUIT AFTER TAKEOFF AT ABOUT 200 FT AGL. A LDG WAS MADE IN A PLOWED FIELD WHERE THE ACFT FLIPPED OVER INVERTED. THE CFI PIC REPORTED THAT, PRIOR TO TAKEOFF, HE HAD CALCULATED THERE WAS ADEQUATE FUEL ON BOARD FOR THE FLT; HIS CALCULATIONS WERE BASED ON AN ASSUMED PRIOR ACFT USAGE OF 3.9 HRS AND FUEL TANK GAGE READINGS NEAR 1/4 FULL. INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM THE ACFT OPERATOR INDICATED THAT THE ACFT WAS LAST REFUELED 5.1 HRS PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT. POST-CRASH EXAMINATION OF THE ACFT REVEALED NO EVIDENCE OF FUEL IN THE ACFT SUMPS OR CARB FUEL BOWL. A POST-CRASH TEST RUN OF THE ENGINE REVEALED NO DISCREPANCIES.
