Incident Overview
During a flight to a destination airport, the pilot experienced an engine failure while on final approach. According to the pilot's account, the engine stopped operating at that phase of the flight. In response, the pilot switched the fuel tank selection from the right to the left tank and attempted to restart the engine. However, the pilot reported that there was insufficient time to complete the restart procedure.
Sequence of Events
After crossing the displaced threshold of the runway, the airplane entered an aerodynamic stall. The loss of lift caused the left wing tip to make contact with the ground. Subsequently, the aircraft came to a stop in an upright, right-side-up attitude.
Pilot Statement
In a follow-up statement, the pilot indicated that the fuel in the right tank had been fully consumed during the flight, implying that the engine failure resulted from fuel exhaustion. No further details regarding fuel management or the specific aircraft type were provided.
Outcome
The aircraft sustained impact damage to the left wing tip, but the pilot did not report any injuries. The airplane remained upright after coming to rest.
