According to the pilot, the airplane lost engine power in-flight while en route to its destination. He performed a forced landing to a terraced field.

The pilot reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions with the airplane. An on-scene examination of the wreckage revealed that there was no usable fuel in the fuel tanks.
Probable Cause: The pilot's improper fuel management, which resulted in a loss of engine power due to fuel exhaustion.
