FUEL EXHAUSTION MANDATES AN IMMEDIATE LNDG ON ARPT SURFACE.

Narrative

ON OR ABOUT MAR/TUE/92; XX30 HRS LCL; A STUDENT AND MYSELF STARTED THE INSTRUCTIONAL FLT AS SCHEDULED. THE STUDENT HAD COMPLETED THE PREFLT AND AS I USUALLY DO; ASKED THE STUDENT ABOUT THE QUANTITY OF OIL AND FUEL. HE REPLIED 5 QUARTS OIL AND 1/3 ON EACH TANK. I ESTIMATED 7 TO 8 GALLONS WHICH WOULD GIVE AN SMA APPROX 1 1/2 HRS OF FUEL WITH NO RESERVE. THE FLT COMMENCED AT ABOUT XX50. WE DEPARTED THE AREA TO THE S AT ABOUT 4 1/2 MI S OF THE ARPT. WE DECIDED TO UTILIZE THE XWIND THAT WAS PRESENT TO PRACTICE XWIND LNDGS. AFTER 1.2 HRS ON THE HOBBS METER I MENTIONED TO THE STUDENT WE HAD BETTER DO A FULL STOP THE NEXT TIME AROUND. ON CLBOUT THE ENG SPUTTERED. THE NOSE OF THE ACFT WAS LOWERED IMMEDIATELY BY MYSELF AND I STARTED A TURN INTO THE WIND AND BACK TO THE ARPT SURFACE; BECAUSE OF ALT AND A LACK OF SUITABLE AREAS AHEAD TO LAND. A SUCCESSFUL LNDG WAS MADE WITH NO INJURIES TO THE OCCUPANTS; NO DAMAGE TO THE ACFT OR ARPT SURFACE. WHEN THE ACFT WAS REFUELED 23.3. GALLONS WERE ADDED TO A TOTAL FUEL CAPACITY OF 26.0 GALLONS; WITH 22.5 USABLE GALLONS. MAKE SURE THERE IS SUFFICIENT FUEL AND THEN SOME FOR THE FLT.
