Read the full NTSB narrative
AS THE PILOT APPROACHED HIS DESTINATION, HE DESCENDED FROM 9000 FT MSL AND LEVELED AT 1600 FT MSL. AT ABOUT THE TIME HE LEVELED, THE ENGINE QUIT ABRUPTLY. HE STATED THAT HE SWITCHED THE FUEL SELECTOR TO THE RIGHT TANK AND TRIED TO START THE ENGINE, BUT WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL. AN EMERGENCY LANDING WAS MADE IN AN OPEN FIELD BEYOND A LINE OF TREES. HOWEVER, AFTER CROSSING OVER THE TREES, HE WAS UNABLE TO FLARE DUE TO A LOSS OF AIRSPEED AND CRASH LANDED. AN INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THERE WAS 10 TO 15 GALLONS OF FUEL REMAINING IN THE RIGHT FUEL TANK. FUEL CALCULATIONS INDICATED THAT ALL OR MOST OF THE USABLE FUEL IN THE LEFT TANK WOULD HAVE BEEN CONSUMED.
