THE FERRY PILOT WAS ENROUTE TO HIS MAINTENANCE BASE ON AN IFR FLIGHT PLAN WHEN THE AIRCRAFT HAD A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER AFTER BEING CLEARED TO LAND AND LANDED SHORT OF THE RUNWAY. EXAMINATION OF THE FUEL SYSTEM DISCLOSED THE FUEL TANKS CONTAINED 9.5 USEABLE GALLONS OF FUEL. THE CESSNA PILOTS SAFETY SUPPLEMENT STATES THAT, WHEN THE TANKS CONTAIN 11 GALLONS OR LESS, PROLONGED UNCOORDINATED FLIGHT CAN UNPORT THE FUEL TANK OUTLETS AND CAUSE FUEL STARVATION.
Probable Cause: FUEL STARVATION DUE TO THE FUEL TANK OUTLETS BECOMING UNPORTED AS THE AIRCRAFT MANEUVERED FOR LANDING. A FACTOR WAS THE PILOT'S PREFLIGHT PLANNING FAILED TO INSURE THAT HE HAD ADEQUATE FUEL FOR THE FLIGHT.
