The flight instructor, a private pilot and a passenger were not injured. Visual conditions prevailed. The airplane was on approach when it experienced a total loss of engine power and the pilot reported that the airplane was “out of fuel” to ATC. The pilot elected to deploy the CAPS and the airplane subsequently descended via parachute into trees, about three miles northeast of the airport.

The airplane was substantially damaged during a forced landing at 1705 Eastern time. The commercial pilot and three passengers were not injured. Visual conditions prevailed.A few minutes after departure and while in initial climb, engine rpm began to rise rapidly, associated with an engine oil pressure warning. The pilot performed remedial actions and thought he had a propeller overspeed condition, so he reduced throttle; however, rpm remained high. He secured the engine, declared an emergency with ATC and turned toward a nearby airport. As the pilot added flaps, the airplane began to feel “mushy.” As the airplane descended through 1000 feet, he deployed the airframe parachute and the airplane settled into trees.
