On May 24, 2023, about 0940 mountain standard time, a Cessna 177B, N34713, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Tucson, Arizona. The pilot sustained serious injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91 personal flight.
The pilot reported that the accident flight was the first flight after the engine overhaul had been completed. The morning of the accident he boarded the airplane and completed an engine runup. After completing the engine runup, he contacted the tower controller and requested a visual flight rules departure from runway 11L. He recalled that the takeoff roll, and rotation were normal, but during the initial climb the engine was not producing power to maintain the climb profile. He informed the tower controller that he needed to make a 180° turn and return to the runway. The pilot was cleared as requested by the tower controller and he initiated a left turn. Subsequently the airplane descended and impacted the ground about one mile east-south-east of the departure end of runway 11. The airplane has been recovered to a secure facility for further examination.
