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 pilot reported that he was low on fuel and was flying over the airstrip before landing to drop a banner that he was towing. Shortly after the banner was released, the aircraft encountered turbulence causing the aircraft to go into a steep bank. At about that time, the engine quit. The pilot was unable to restart the engine and elected to land in a hay field beside the runway. After touchdown, the nose gear collapsed. The fuel selector was found in the "both" position, the left tank was empty, and the right tank had 2 gallons of fuel remaining. Fuel could be drained from the fuel filter.
