Analysis
Following a preflight inspection of the aircraft by the student pilot, the aircraft departed the Corona municipal airport on a dual training flight. Upon reaching an altitude of approximately 300 feet, the engine quit. The instructor landed the aircraft straight ahead in rough terrain and collided with a ditch. Investigation revealed both wing fuel tanks to be empty.
