On August 24, 2025, about 0820 Alaska daylight time, a Piper PA-28-180 airplane, N7771N, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Chicken, Alaska. The pilot and one passenger sustained minor injuries; the second passenger was uninjured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.
According to the pilot, during climb-out following a low pass to inspect the gravel runway at Chicken Airport, the engine experienced a partial loss of power accompanied by a vibration. The airplane subsequently impacted terrain approximately half a mile northwest of the airfield, resulting in substantial damage to the wings, fuselage, and empennage.
The wreckage will be recovered to a secure facility, and a detailed NTSB examination is pending.
