Incident Overview
During descent to the destination, a loss of engine power occurred. The pilot executed a forced landing on a dirt road. The road turned sharply, and during the landing roll, the aircraft continued ahead off the road.
Pilot Report
The pilot reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures. He stated that he had departed with sufficient fuel for the flight plus reserves. However, the pilot was en route to have maintenance performed on the fuel system and had departed with minimum fuel onboard to arrive at the destination with very little fuel in the tanks. The aircraft's fuel supply was exhausted.
Probable Cause
The probable cause of the accident was fuel exhaustion, as the pilot departed with minimal fuel for maintenance purposes, leading to a complete loss of engine power.
