The pilot and the passenger were conducting a personal cross-country flight. While on approach to the airport, which was a planned fuel stop, the airplane sustained a total loss of engine power. The pilot performed a forced landing to a corn field and the airplane came to rest nose-down. The two occupants were extracted from the airplane by first responders. The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings and the fuselage.
The pilot reported to first responders that the airplane “ran out of fuel.' The pilot did not report any preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airframe or the engine that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot's improper fuel planning, that resulted in a total loss of engine power due to fuel exhaustion, and a subsequent forced landing.
