Aircraft Accident/Incident Report
Anaheim, California 92825

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident
The airplane collided with a cement wall during a forced landing following a loss of engine power. Prior to departure, the pilot requested that the airplane be serviced with fuel, and both tanks had been filled to maximum capacity. After being serviced, the fuel gauges indicated full tanks. The airplane uneventfully flew for about 3 hours and the pilot was en route back to the airport. About 15 minutes away from the airport, the airplane lost power, and the pilot performed an emergency landing. The airplane touched down in a parking lot and collided with a block wall. The pilot stated that he thought that he had about 10 gallons of fuel on board at the time of the accident. The Federal Aviation Administration inspector that responded to the accident reported that he saw no signs of fuel at the accident sight. He visually checked the inside of the tanks and found that the left tank was empty, and the right tank had about 1 1/2 gallons of fuel remaining. Neither fuel tank had been breached during the accident. The original Continental GO-300 engine was replaced with a Continental O-470 under a FAA form 337 field approval. The O-470 engine has a higher fuel consumption rate than the GO-300.
NTSB Probable Cause Narrative
the pilot's inadequate fuel consumption calculations, which resulted in fuel exhaustion.
