On July 12, 2023, about 1330 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 150L airplane, N16071, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident at the Elbert County Airport (EBA), Elberton, Georgia. The pilot sustained minor injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.
The pilot reported that he completed a run-up and proceeded to takeoff on runway 11. During the initial climb, the pilot realized that the engine was not producing normal power. He described that the engine had lost partial power. The pilot subsequently completed a forced landing along a dirt road about .40-nautical mile from the departure runway threshold. Upon touchdown, the airplane nosed over, which resulted in substantial damage to the fuselage and both wings. During recovery of the airplane, about 15 gallons of fuel remained on-board.
The wreckage was retained for further examination.
