Incident Details
The pilot departed from home base with an undetermined amount of available fuel. Before departure, the lineman or refueler advised the pilot of the uncertainty regarding the fuel quantity on board. Despite this advisory, the pilot assumed the aircraft had been refueled the previous evening and proceeded to depart on the flight. However, the aircraft had not been refueled the night before.
Sequence of Events
The flight continued until the fuel supply was exhausted. The fuel exhaustion occurred when the aircraft was approximately five miles short of the pilot's intended destination airport. The aircraft was unable to reach the planned landing site due to the lack of fuel.
No further details regarding the weather, time of day, aircraft type, or occupants were provided in the investigation source. The report did not specify any injuries or damage, and no causal factors were explicitly stated beyond the sequence described.
