- History of Flight:
On March 4, 2026, at about 0721 local time, a Piper PA-28-140 Cherokee, N7744T, "Registration Pending", sustained substantial damage when it was involved in an accident in Phoenix, Arizona. The pilot and one passenger sustained serious injuries, and one passenger sustained unknown injuries. The Part 91 training flight originated from KDVT at 0715 LT.
The FAA reported: "Aircraft on departure and attempted to return to the airport due to engine issues and crashed into a house." ADS-B data show that the airplane departed KDVT and climbed to 3,200 ft before it entered a descending left hand 180 turn back towards the airport. The airplane continued to descent while losing ground speed. The last ADS-B data point was recorded at 0721:38, the airplane was at 1,500 ft, 58 knots groundspeed, and descending 700 feet per minute (fpm).
Surveillance video showed the aircraft in a slow descent before the right wing dropped and the airplane rolled right, consistent with a low altitude stall entry. The right wing clipped the roof of a house, and the airplane rotated about 180 degrees before it came to rest nose down into the side of another house. There was no post crash fire. The total flight time was 5-6 minutes.
