The pilot said he took off from Ozark, Arkansas, with the intent of landing at Sedalia, Missouri. "About 150 miles into the flight, [the] engine started missing. It would miss, then run a while, then miss again. Over Windsor, Missouri, [the] engine started missing continually." The pilot said that he saw an "X-out strip" north of Windsor. He said made a low pass over the field. "[The] field was rough but I felt I did not have any choice." The pilot touched down on the left side of the runway. "I believe I hit something as [the] plane immediately stopped and went over." Examination of the airplane revealed 3-1/2 gallons of fuel in the airplane's fuel tanks. Examination of the engine and remaining airplane systems revealed no anomalies.
Probable Cause: fuel exhaustion and the pilot abruptly applying normal brakes during the landing roll. Factors relating to this accident were the precautionary landing, and the pilot's inadequate in-flight planning/ decision.
