On October 7, 2025, about 1825 mountain daylight time, a Piper PA24 airplane, N7946P, was substantially damaged in an accident near Vineyard, Utah. The pilot and pilot-rated passenger were not injured. The flight was conducted under Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.
The pilot reported that he and a pilot-rated passenger departed South Valley Regional Airport (SVR), West Jordan, Utah. During cruise flight about 7,500 ft mean sea level, the pilot heard a knocking sound and noted engine shuddering. He applied carburetor heat and followed the emergency procedure checklist; however, his attempt to restore power was unsuccessful, and he then advised air traffic control of an engine problem. The power continued to degrade, and the pilot turned toward Provo Airport (PVU) Provo, Utah, and the pilot performed a forced landing on the east shoreline of Utah Lake. The airplane touched down on the shoreline and struck a stump during the rollout, resulting in substantial damage to the left wing.
The airplane was recovered for further examination.
