Aircraft involved

Factual narrative

On June 11,2024, about 1250 Pacific standard time, a Cessna 150M was substantially damage when it was involved in an accident near Roll, Arizona. The pilot was not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. The pilot reported that she departed Yuma International Airport (NYL), Yuma, Arizona, with full fuel. At approximately 5,500 ft the engine made a loud bang followed by a total loss of power. She attempted to restart the engine with no success and began to look for a suitable place to land. The pilot stated that by the time she located a nearby private airport, she was parallel to the runway. She turned toward the south, and as she turned back toward the runway, she realized she would not be able to make it to the runway. The pilot initiated an off-airport landing to a field. During the landing sequence, the airplane struck trees, which resulted in substantial damage to both wings. The airplane was recovered to a secure location for examination.
