On August 4, 2023, about 1030 eastern daylight time, an experimental amateur-built Challenger II, N906WV, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident in Port Orange, Florida. The private pilot sustained serious injuries and the passenger incurred minor injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.
The pilot reported to local law enforcement that he departed Spruce Creek Fly-In (7FL6), Port Orange, Florida, with the intended destination of Deland Municipal Airport (DED), DeLand, Florida. Shortly after departure, the engine lost power. He attempted to glide the airplane to an open area; however, the airspeed decreased to 25 knots, and the airplane entered an aerodynamic stall. The airplane struck trees and then impacted the ground.
The wreckage came to rest inverted, in a residential area, about 2 miles from 7FL6. Examination of the airplane revealed that the fuselage and wings sustained substantial damage.
The airframe and engine were retained for further examination.
