On July 18, 2019, about 2100 mountain daylight time, an experimental amateur-built Judd Challenger II airplane, N77YD, sustained substantial damage during a forced landing near Draper, Utah. The commercial pilot was not injured. The airplane was registered to and operated by the pilot under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 as a personal flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan was filed for the local flight, which originated from Provo, Utah, at 2030.
The pilot reported that during cruise flight, about 800 ft above ground level, he advanced the throttle and the engine immediately lost power. The pilot was unsuccessful in his attempt to restart the engine and initiated a forced landing to a nearby residential road. During the landing sequence, the airplane struck trees and came to rest upright against a fire hydrant.
Examination of the airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed that the right side of the fuselage was structurally damaged. The airplane was recovered to a secure location for further examination.
