The accident flight was intended as a test flight after the airplane’s annual inspection. During the preflight inspection, the pilot visually checked the fuel and noted that there was less than he expected. While operating in the traffic pattern, the pilot experienced static on the radio and departed the airport area to troubleshoot. When he concluded these efforts and turned the airplane back toward the airport, the engine stopped producing power. Unable to restore engine power, the pilot performed a forced landing to a street. The pilot avoided vehicle traffic and power lines; however, the airplane struck trees and a masonry fence, resulting in substantial damage to both wings.
Examination of the wreckage by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed no fuel in the airplane’s fuel tanks. The pilot stated that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions that would have precluded normal operation.
