On June 6, 2025, about 0530 mountain standard time, a Cessna 150M, N45659, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Phoenix, Arizona. The flight instructor and student pilot sustained minor injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 instructional flight.
The pilot reported that he had departed runway 07L at Phoenix Deer Valley Airport (DVT), Phoenix, Arizona. During the left turn to the crosswind leg of the airport traffic pattern, about 300 ft above ground level, the engine lost power. The pilot continued the left turn to return to the runway, but the airplane descended rapidly and landed in a vacant lot about 3,100 ft northeast of the departure runway threshold and nosed over. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the aft fuselage and empennage. Fuel was observed leaking from the airplane while inverted, and during the airplane recovery, several gallons of fuel were extracted from the fuel tank to facilitate transport.
The wreckage was recovered to a secure area for further investigation.
