THE FLIGHT DEPARTED FT. MEADE, MARYLAND, AT 0822 EASTERN STANDARD TIME, WITH THE INTENDED DESTINATION OF GARY, INDIANA. AT 1219 THE PILOT REPORTED TO ATC THAT THE AIRPLANE HAD RUN OUT OF FUEL. A FORCED LANDING WAS PLANNED ON A FREEWAY OFF-RAMP; HOWEVER, DUE TO HIGHWAY TRAFFIC THE LANDING WAS MADE ADJACENT TO THE RAMP IN ROUGH AND UNEVEN TERRAIN. INSPECTION REVEALED ONLY UNUSABLE FUEL REMAINING IN THE FUEL TANKS. NO LEAKS IN THE SYSTEM WERE FOUND.
Probable Cause: the pilot-in-command's inattention to the fuel supply. A factor was rough and uneven terrain.
