Emergency Landing After Intentional Fuel Depletion

Incident Overview and Sequence of Events During a local flight, the pilot intentionally depleted the right fuel tank. After switching to the remaining fuel source, the pilot attempted to restart the engine, but the effort was unsuccessful. The aircraft subsequently made an emergency landing on a narrow road. During the landing, the right wing struck brush and trees, causing the airplane to turn toward the right. The impact resulted in substantial damage to both wings. ## Operational Context The source indicates that the pilot was returning from a local flight when the fuel management decision was made. The sequence of events began with the intentional depletion of the right fuel tank, followed by a failed engine restart after switching fuel tanks. The emergency landing occurred on a narrow road, where the right wing impacted vegetation and trees, leading to the aircraft's rightward turn and significant structural damage to both wings.
