CESSNA 180H
THE PRIVATE PILOT AND HIS PASSENGER WERE UNINJURED FOLLOWING A FORCED LANDING ON A SURVEY TRAIL. THE PILOT RELATED THAT THE AIRPLANE RAN OUT OF FUEL, AND NOSED-OVER DURING THE LANDING ROLL ON THE SOFT SOIL. HE SAID THAT HE DID NOT VISUALLY INSPECT THE AIRPLANE'S FUEL TANKS PRIOR TO DEPARTURE, BUT THOUGHT HE HAD SUFFICIENT FUEL FOR THE LOCAL FLIGHT LOOKING FOR MOOSE. A REVEIW OF THE PILOT'S RECORDS SHOW THAT HIS LAST FAA MEDICAL CERTIFICATE HAD EXPIRED SIX YEARS PRIOR TO THE FLIGHT, AND THAT HE HAD NOT ACCOMPLISHED A BIENNIAL FLIGHT REVIEW WITHIN THE PROCEEDING 24 MONTHS.
