On June 21, 2024, about 1210 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 172N, N734XT, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Hernando, Florida. The flight instructor and commercial pilot were not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 instructional flight.
The flight instructor reported that the airplane departed about 20 minutes prior with 30 gallons of fuel. The commercial pilot and flight instructor were practicing commercial maneuvers at 2,000 ft mean sea level, when they experienced extreme engine roughness and a loss of engine power. The flight instructor could not maintain altitude and could not correct the engine anomaly. He subsequently performed a forced landing on a road. During the landing, the left wing struck a tree, and the airplane came to rest inverted.
Examination of the wreckage by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed substantial damage to the left wing and fuselage. The wreckage was retained for further examination.
