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 was on final approach for runway 22 when the engine quit. He made a forced landing on unsuitable terrain. A post accident examination revealed that one wing tank contained sevral gallons of fuel. The other wing tank was ruptured, and it could not be determined how much fuel that tank contained. An examination of the engine revealed no discrepancies.
