Figure 1: ADS-B data from Flightaware
On June 30, 2025, at about 1617 local time, a privately-registered Piper PA-22-150 Tri-Pacer, N3609Z, sustained substantial damage in a forced landing near Chinitna Bay, Alaska. The pilot was not injured. The personal flight originated from Soldotna Airport (SXQ/PASX), Soldotna, Alaska, at about 1457 LT.
ADS-B data indicates the airplane departed runway 25 and climbed to an altitude of 4,000 ft before it descended to about 1,200 ft and started flying towards the southwest. The airplane flew over mountainous terrain with varying degrees of altitudes and groundspeeds. About 55 minutes into the flight, the airplane climbed to an altitude of 2,700 ft to overfly a mountain, which was followed by a slow descent towards a beach.
The FAA reported that the aircraft made an emergency landing on a beach and flipped over.
