A privately registered Cessna 120 was operating on a multi leg visual flight rules round trip from Delta Heritage Airpark (CAK3), BC, with only the pilot on board.

While on short final to Runway 26L at CYPK, the engine (Teledyne Continental Motors C-85-12-F) stopped producing power.

The aircraft touched down approximately 1400 feet from the displaced threshold of Runway 26L. The aircraft overturned and came to rest inverted. The pilot egressed and was not injured. Police, fire, and ambulance services all responded. At the time of the accident, the temperature / dew point at 2 airports within 19 nautical miles of CYPK were 19°C /14°C at Vancouver International (CYVR) and 21°C / 14°C at Abbotsford (CYXX). The carburetor heat control was determined to be in the cold/off position. There was no post impact fire, but the aircraft was substantially damaged.
