Incident Overview
Shortly after takeoff following a touch and go landing, the aircraft's engine sputtered and subsequently lost power, necessitating a forced landing. During the landing, the left wing and empennage sustained substantial damage.
Post-Incident Examination
An examination of the airplane, engine, and related systems revealed no mechanical anomalies. Inspection of the fuel system showed that the left fuel tank was empty, while the right fuel tank contained approximately 10 gallons of fuel.
Pilot Statement
The pilot reported that the loss of engine power was the result of fuel starvation.
