According to the pilot's written statement, while he was on approach to Schaumburg Regional Airport the airplane experienced a loss of engine power. The pilot stated that he attempted to land on runway 29 but impacted the terrain approximately 100-feet short of the runway threshold. The pilot stated that the accident could have been prevented if he had, 'Visually confirm fuel level in each tank prior to departure.' The pilot reported, 'The bottom line is that I did not check the fuel tanks at any time on February 9 [the accident date].' The pilot continued, 'Having flown from Schaumburg to Midway to Columbus and almost back to Fort Wayne on one tank...Fuel exhaustion never concerned me. Tough mistake.' Examination of the fuel tanks of the airplane revealed no useable fuel present.
Probable Cause: inadequate aircraft preflight by the pilot and fuel consumption calculations not being preformed by the pilot. Factors to the accident were fuel exhaustion, the rocks/boulders, and the high vegetation.
