AAIB investigation to Denney Kitfox MK2, G-BUKP

Forced landing due to fuel exhaustion near Old Buckenham Airfield, Norwich, 3 September 2023

The aircraft was flown with an underslung cargo pod on a cross country flight which may have resulted in higher than anticipated fuel consumption. The pilot recognised a low fuel situation and planned a landing at Old Buckenham to refuel. Before arrival, the engine started to lose power, so the pilot initiated a field landing. There was no damage or injuries.
