- History of Flight:
On November 16, 2025, at about 0846 local time, a Piper PA-32R-301T Saratoga II TC, N327HP, sustained substantial damage in a forced landing near Williamson, Georgia. The sole pilot onboard was not injured. The aircraft is registered to N327HP LLC out of Senoia, GA, and was being operated by the pilot on a cross-country personal flight, which originated from the Atlanta Regional Airport-Falcon Field (FFC/KFFC), Atlanta, Georgia, and was destined to an unconfirmed airport in Florida.

According to the FAA, the airplane experienced engine issues on climb out from FFC and one of the landing gear struck a powerline during the ensuing forced landing. The FAA incorrectly reported the accident location as "Concord, California."

According to preliminary ADS-B data, at 0832 LT, the airplane departed KFFC and entered a climbing left turn to an altitude of 4,900 ft. About 14 minutes into the flight, the airplane initiated a descending 180 turn and eventfully landed in the vicinity of two small GA airfields.
