Forced Landing and Overturning During Cross-Country Flight (N93151)

Incident Overview and Flight Details The pilot was operating the final segment of a cross-country flight route that included stops in Stillwater, Clinton, and Guthrie, Oklahoma, covering a total distance of 233 miles. During this final leg, the aircraft's engine lost power, necessitating a forced landing. The aircraft overturned during the landing sequence. No fuel stains were observed beneath the aircraft after the incident. Records indicated that the aircraft had been flown for 1.2 hours before the student pilot used it for an additional 3.1 hours. The aircraft was equipped with standard fuel tanks containing 25.5 gallons of usable fuel. This fuel capacity equates to a consumption rate of 5.7 gallons per hour. According to the Cessna 152 Pilot's Operating Handbook, if 70% engine power is used at a pressure altitude of 4,000 feet MSL with an outside ambient air temperature 20 degrees above standard, the aircraft would have a true airspeed of 102 KIAS and an average fuel consumption of 5.7 gallons per hour.
