Analysis
The acft was flown for slightly less than 3 hrs on an instructional flt. The acft was reportedly nearly full of fuel before takeoff. Capacity is 89 gals. At max consumption of 22 gph the acft should have still had fuel available when the eng quit. During the forced lndg the acft collided with power lines and the ground about 1 mile form the rwy. The eng was test run satisfactorily after the acc. The acft had lain in an inverted position overnite before the inspection which showed only a few ounces of fuel in the acft. The CFI stated that the fullest tank was selected prior to the last takeoff.
