THE ENG LOST POWER AS THE STUDENT PLT WAS ENTERING A DOWNWIND TO LAND AFTER COMPLETING A SOLO X-COUNTRY FLT. HE MANEUVERED TO LAND ON RWY 29 WHICH WAS 1900' LONG. HOWEVER, THE ACFT LANDED ABOUT 3/4 OF THE WAY DOWN THE RWY WITH NO FLAPS. SUBSEQUENTLY, IT CONTINUED OFF THE DEPARTURE END OF THE RWY & HIT A PARKED AIRPLANE. AN EXAM OF THE ACFT REVEALED IT WAS EMPTY OF USABLE FUEL & THE FUEL GAUGES INDCD THE TANKS WERE EMPTY.
Probable Cause: INADEQUATE PREFLIGHT PLANNING/PREPARATION BY THE STUDENT PILOT, WHICH LED TO FUEL EXHAUSTION DUE TO AN INADEQUATE SUPPLY OF FUEL. THE PILOT'S FAILURE TO ATTAIN THE PROPER TOUCHDOWN POINT DURING THE LANDING AND THE PARKED AIRPLANE WERE CONTRIBUTING FACTORS.
