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 plt estimated that the acft had about 1 hr of fuel remaining in the tanks prior to departure. However, after he had flown about 15 min, the eng lost power & would not restart. An emergency landing was made in a meadow about 2 mi from the arpt. The acft barely cleared power lines before the plt made a hard landing which broke the nose & right main gear. A visual inspection of the fuel tanks after the accident revealed no evidence of fuel.
