On January 10, 2024, about 0815 central standard time, a Cessna 150M, N7UT, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident at Paul Bridges Field Airport (0M3), Hohenwald, Tennessee. The student pilot was not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 instructional flight.
The student pilot reported that the purpose of the flight was to conduct a solo cross-country flight. The first leg was intended to fly from Tullahoma Regional Airport/William Northern Field (THA), Tullahoma, Tennessee, to Hassell Field Airport (M29) Clifton, Tennessee, about 100 nautical miles (nm).
Shortly after receiving a weather briefing and flight instructor signoff for the flight, the student pilot conducted a preflight inspection and engine run-up; no irregularities were found, and the subsequent takeoff was normal. About 80 nm into the flight, while cruising at 2,500 ft mean sea level and 2,400 rpm, the engine began to run rough. She moved the throttle to full and confirmed that the mixture was full rich, but the engine continued to progressively operate rougher with a subsequent decrease in engine rpm.
The student pilot elected to divert to 0M3. While on final approach, the airplane was high and fast; however, the student pilot did not believe the airplane was high enough to bleed-off airspeed and make a 180° turn to lose altitude, so she continued the approach and landed long on the runway. She was unable to stop the airplane on the runway. It exited the paved surface of the runway and struck a fence resulting in substantial damage to the wings and airframe.
The airplane was retained for further examination.
