Analysis
During arrival, the plt descended from 10,500 ft to 2300 ft, then circled a house 3 times before turning toward the arpt. As he rolled the wings level & was preparing to call the arpt, the eng lost power. He was unable to start the eng, so he elected to make a forced landing in a pond. As the acft was approaching the pond, the left wing struck a tree. The acft then spun out of control into a roadway & went into the pond where it became submerged. According to the plt, the fuel gages indicated the right tank was at least 1/8 full and the left tank was 3/8 full. After being recovered from the pond, the eng was started & operated normally.
