Flight and Fuel Management
During a flight, the pilot assessed that fuel was sufficient to reach the destination after passing the last available airport. Upon final approach, one fuel tank became depleted, prompting a switch to the remaining tank. As the second tank also emptied, the pilot attempted to sustain engine operation by alternating between tanks, but the fuel supply was ultimately exhausted.
Landing and Damage
Recognizing that the runway could not be reached, the pilot executed a landing in an adjacent field. The aircraft came to rest just short of the runway. Post-landing inspection revealed substantial damage to the lower right wing, characterized by an upward compression deformation of the wing structure.
