Probable cause
Fuel exhaustion due to inadequate fuel supply. Factors include a ditch encountered while landing.
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 Cessna 152 had flown for about fours hours since its last refueling when it sustained a loss of power and the student pilot attempted a forced landing. The aircraft was damaged during the forced landing, and the fuel line to the carburetor was separated. The student pilot stated that the fuel gauges had indicated about 1/4 tanks before the loss of power. No mechanical discrepancies to the engine were noted by FAA inspectors.
