The pilot, accompanied by a passenger, took off around 15:00 under a VFR flight plan from Grenoble Le Versoud aerodrome bound for Montbéliard Courcelles aerodrome. This was the return flight as part of a club trip.
At 16:56, the pilot began the descent towards 2,000 ft in order to directly integrate the downwind leg of runway 26.
At the start of a downwind, the engine power suddenly dropped. The pilot pushed the throttle to increase power, but his action had no effect. On the frequency, he announced that he was running out of fuel and decided to carry out a forced landing on runway 08.
The aircraft struck the top of a tree at the edge of the aerodrome at low speed, then fell almost vertically to the ground in the aerodrome enclosure.
The pilot took off with a total quantity of fuel of 50 l which he thought was sufficient to him provide with an autonomy of 2 h 30, necessary to achieve the return flight of an estimated duration of 1 h 45, with a final reserve of 30 min. Its autonomy was in fact of 2 h 15 at the maximum, without reserve. During the downwind leg, after a flight time of about 2 hours, the defusing of the fuel system led to the engine shutting down completely.
