THE STUDENT PLT WAS ON A SOLO X-COUNTRY FLT BETWEEN MAPLE GROVE ARPT & HOUGHTON LAKE ARPT. DURING THE FLT, THE PLT REQUESTED RADAR ASSISTANCE TO LOCATE HOUGHTON LAKE. DUE TO HER SOLO STUDENT STATUS & THE CLOSE PROXIMITY OF MT PLEASANT ARPT, SHE WAS ADVISED TO LAND THERE. WHILE ON A SHORT FINAL APPROACH TO RWY 27 AT MT PLEASANT, SHE PULLED THE MIXTURE KNOB BY MISTAKE & STARVED THE ENG OF FUEL. THIS RESULTED IN A FORCED LANDING IN A FIELD APRX 200 FT SHORT OF THE PAVED SURFACE OF THE RWY. THE TERRAIN AT THAT POINT WAS ROUGH ENOUGH TO CAUSE THE PLANE TO NOSE OVER.
