On November 11, 2022, about 1206 mountain standard time, a Cessna C-150 airplane, N3131J, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Payson, Arizona. The pilot was seriously injured. The airplane was operated as a 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.
The airplane was the second airplane in a flight of two that departed Phoenix Deer Valley Airport (DVT) Phoenix, Arizona, at 1115 local with a planned destination of Gallup, New Mexico. The pilot stated he had initiated a climb after approaching the higher elevation terrain of the Mogollon Rim and was 1,900 ft above the ground still climbing when the engine stumbled, ran rough and then began to lose power. He applied carburetor heat and manipulated the engine controls, but the engine did not respond. He attempted to land in a small clearing in the forest but, collided with trees before reaching the desired landing area. The airplane came to rest inverted.
Subsequent inspection of the O-200 Continental engine by the NTSB and FAA found that the number one cylinder exhaust valve stem had fractured causing the lower portion of the valve to enter the combustion chamber resulting in extensive damage to the piston and cylinder and failure of the engine to produce adequate power for flight.
