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 acft collided with a fence during a forced landing in a grass field. The plt stated that during pre-flight, he found about 7 gallons of fuel aboard the acft. His flight was to be only 20 minutes of air work. Some time was added in locating ground reference points, and after some maneuvering at full power, the engine stopped. Restart procedures did not succeed, so a forced landing was made. No fuel was visible in the aircraft's fuel tank after the accident.
