THE PRIVATE PILOT DEPARTED A SMALL AIRSTRIP AND FLEW FOR ABOUT 3 HOURS 43 MINUTES BEFORE THE ENGINE FAILED AND HE EXECUTED A FORCED LANDING TO A RESIDENTIAL STREET. DURING THE LANDING THE AIRPLANE STRUCK TREES. EXAMINATION OF THE FUEL SYSTEM REVEALED ONLY ABOUT 1/2 GALLON OF FUEL IN BOTH FUEL TANKS.
Probable Cause: FAILURE OF THE PILOT-IN-COMMAND TO PERFORM IN-FLIGHT FUEL CONSUMPTION CALCULATIONS. THE LACK OF SUITABLE TERRAIN FOR A FORCED LANDING WAS A FACTOR.
