Background
According to the flight instructor, the engine lost power after the student had completed various turning maneuvers. The student reported that the fuel selector was positioned to the left main tank and estimated the fuel quantities as follows: 18 gallons in the left main tank, 25 gallons in the right main tank, 5 gallons in the left tip tank, and 1 gallon in the right tip tank. The student also stated that the tip tanks had purposely not been refueled recently because the owners intended to burn off the remaining fuel in order to service them.

Following the loss of engine power, the student executed a forced landing. During the landing, the main landing gear were sheared off, and the tip tanks were ruptured. No further details about the aircraft type, registration, operator, location, date, time of day, weather conditions, or injuries were provided in the source.
Outcome
The aircraft sustained damage to the main landing gear and tip tanks as a result of the forced landing. The source did not specify any other damage or injuries. The investigation did not provide a probable cause for the engine power loss.
