On June 7, 2022, about 1415 central daylight time, a Piper PA-28-161 airplane, N8283V, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Fort Worth, Texas. The student pilot was not injured. The airplane was operated under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 as an instructional flight.
The student pilot was practicing a touch-and-go landing following a cross-country flight when the accident occurred. During the takeoff portion of the touch and go, at an altitude of 100 ft above the runway, the engine stopped producing power. The student pilot performed a forced landing and the left wing collided with a tree and separated which resulted in substantial damage. A postaccident examination of the airplane found the right fuel tank was empty and the left fuel tank was about ½ full of fuel. The student pilot reported the right fuel tank was selected when the engine lost power. It is likely that the engine lost power when it was starved of fuel.
Probable Cause: The student pilot’s inadequate fuel management that resulted in a loss of engine power due to fuel starvation.
