A Piper PA-28-180, N98146, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Mokuleia, Hawaii. The flight instructor, student pilot, and passenger sustained minor injuries.
The flight instructor reported that, before the flight, he called the fixed base operator (FBO) and requested that the airplane be refueled "to the tabs." A preflight inspection revealed no anomalies, and the fuel was at the tab level as requested. They departed on the flight and conducted maneuvers at altitude before returning to the airport for touch-and-go takeoffs and landings. While taking off during the third touch-and-go, the engine lost power about 300 feet above ground level. The instructor took control of the airplane and initiated a forced landing to an open field south of the runway. During the landing, the airplane impacted a fence and came to rest upright. The student pilot reported that the flight instructor did the exterior preflight inspection of the airplane, and only recalled him looking in the right-wing fuel tank to verify the fuel level.
Probable Cause and Findings
A total loss of engine power due to fuel starvation as a result of the flight instructor's inadequate preflight inspection.
