## Probable cause

TOTAL LOSS OF ENGINE POWER DURING THE INITIAL CLIMB DUE TO FUEL STARVATION AS A RESULT OF THE PILOT'S FAILURE TO PERFORM AN ADEQUATE PREFLIGHT TO DETERMINE THE QUANTITY OF FUEL ON BOARD.

## Sequence of events

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

- Loss of engine power(total) - nonmechanical, takeoff - initial climb
  - fluid,fuel - starvation (cause)
  - fuel consumption calculations - not performed, pilot in command (cause)
- Forced landing, descent - emergency
- On ground/water collision with object, landing - roll
  - object - fence

## Analysis

DURING A GO-AROUND THE ENG QUIT DUE TO FUEL STARVATION.  DURING THE FORCED LANDING ON THE ARPT PROPERTY, THE ACFT COLLIDED WITH A FENCE & CAME TO REST.  THE ACFT HAD BEEN FLOWN 4.0 HRS SINCE REFUELING. THE FUEL TANKS WERE DRAINED WHICH REVEALED SLIGHTLY MORE THAN THE UNUSABLE QUANTITY OF FUEL.

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
