| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot then reported that he had landed at Greater Kankakee Airport to obtain fuel but the fuel services at the airport were closed, so the pilot departed at approximately 2105 to complete his return to Lansing Municipal Airport when the engine quit and the pilot then executed a forced landing into a field. Examination of the fuel tanks revealed no fuel to be present in either tank.
Probable Cause: Fuel exhaustion due to fuel mismanagement by the pilot-in-command. The rough terrain was a contributing factor.
