Approximately 20-30 minutes into the cross-country flight, the airplane experienced a loss of engine power. The 37-hour student pilot executed a forced landing in a field after an unsuccessful effort to restart the engine. During the landing, the airplane impacted a fence, small trees, and barb wire. Examination of the airplane revealed the left wing sustained structural damage, the right elevator was separated, and the right landing gear was collapsed underneath the airplane. The engine was test run for several minutes on both fuel tanks. The left fuel tank contained less than 1 quart of fuel, and the right fuel tank was full. The fuel selector was determined to be operating normally in all settings.
Probable Cause: A loss of engine power due to fuel starvation. A contributing factor was the inadequate inflight planning procedures for a cross country flight.
