On March 3, 2023, about 1230 Pacific daylight time, a Piper PA-28-180 Cherokee, N9375J, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Calaveras County Airport, San Andreas, California. The pilot and co-pilot sustained minor injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.
The pilot stated that the airplane had recently undergone extensive maintenance. He stated that earlier in the day, he and the co-pilot flew the airplane from Lodi, California, their home airport. That flight was the first flight after maintenance, and they performed a series of maneuvers along the way. After landing in San Andreas they took a 20-25 minute break, and intended to fly back to Lodi.
The pilot further stated that he configured the airplane for a soft-field takeoff and extended the flaps to 25°. The initial departure was normal, and when reaching about 300 ft above ground level (AGL), the engine suddenly quit. The pilot attempted to return back to the runway, but the airplane could not maintain altitude. The pilot performed an off-airport landing and impacted terrain hard.
