THE STUDENT PILOT WAS ON THE SECOND LEG OF HIS CROSS-COUNTRY FLIGHT WHEN THE ENGINE LOST POWER. HE LANDED IN A SNOW COVERED, PLOWED FIELD. AFTER ABOUT 60 FEET OF GROUND ROLL, THE PLANE NOSED OVER. THE STUDENT STATED THAT THE ENGINE STARTED RUNNING ROUGH UNTIL HE APPLIED CARBURETOR HEAT, AND THEN IT SMOOTHED OUT. HE STATED THAT HE CUT-OFF THE CARBURETOR HEAT, AND THEN ABOUT ONE MINUTE LATER, THE ENGINE QUIT. HOWEVER, ANOTHER PILOT STATED THAT HE HEARD THE STUDENT TRANSMIT THAT HE WAS GOING DOWN AND THAT HE WAS OUT OF FUEL OR EXPERIENCED FUEL STARVATION. ALSO, WHEN THE PLANE WAS EXAMINED BY TWO OTHER PERSONS, THEY FOUND NO FUEL IN THE PLANE AND NO EVIDENCE THAT FUEL HAD LEAKED ON THE SNOW COVERED TERRAIN.
