## Sequence of events

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- Loss of engine power(total) - nonmechanical, approach - vfr pattern - final approach
  - aircraft preflight - inadequate, pilot in command (cause)
  - fluid,fuel - exhaustion (cause)
  - fuel supply - misjudged, pilot in command (cause)
  - lack of total experience, pilot in command
- Forced landing, approach
- In flight collision with object, approach - vfr pattern - final approach
  - object - tree(s) (contributing factor)
- In flight collision with object, descent - uncontrolled

## Analysis

WHILE ON FINAL APPROACH FOR LANDING, THE PILOT NOTICED A LOSS OF POWER AT ABOUT 500 FT AGL. HE VERIFIED THAT HIS CARBURETOR HEAT WAS ON AND PUSHED THE THROTTLE FORWARD. POWER WAS RESTORED FOR A SECOND, BUT ONCE AGAIN, IT WAS LOST. WHILE LANDING ON HOSPITAL GROUNDS ABOUT 1/4 MILE FROM THE RUNWAY, THE PLANE CLIPPED A TREE AND STRUCK AN ORNAMENTAL TIE-BEAM. AN EXAMINATION REVEALED THAT BOTH FUEL TANKS WERE EMPTY. THE PILOT HAD NOT ADDED FUEL AT HIS LAST STOP-OVER POINT. THE AIRCRAFT HAD FLOWN 3.6 HOURS SINCE IT WAS LAST REFUELED.
