Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General aviation - Personal
On June 7, 2022, about 1645 Pacific daylight time, a Czech Sport Aircraft SportCruiser, N565L, sustained substantial damage when it was involved in an accident in Hillsboro, Oregon. The pilot and passenger were not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.
The pilot stated that after completing a normal preflight check, which included sumping both fuel tank drains and the gascolator, he taxied to the other side of the airport and shutdown the engine to pick up a passenger. After the passenger boarded, he restarted and performed an engine run-up.
Takeoff was normal, and after rotation the airplane accelerated in ground effect and began to climb. After reaching an altitude of between 100 to 200 ft agl, the engine tone changed, following which it lost all power. The pilot decreased the airplanes angle of attack, verified the fuel pump was on, switched the fuel selector valve from the left to right tank, and attempted an engine restart. The engine did not restart, and with insufficient altitude to operate the ballistic parachute, he performed a forced landing just beyond the runway.

PORTLAND, Oregon (KOIN) — A small aircraft was forced to make an emergency landing in Hillsboro on Tuesday afternoon.
Firefighters are on the scene of the emergency landing at Northeast Evergreen Road and Northeast 25th Avenue. Authorities say the plane had crashed on the grounds of the Hillsboro Airport at the end of one of the runways in the grassy area, then went through a fence.
The plane reportedly crashed because it lost power after taking off.
Hillsboro Fire & Rescue says there were two people on board, but they were able to get out by themselves and walked away uninjured.
All eastbound lanes of NE Evergreen Road are currently blocked and will likely be for several hours while the plane is removed, according to the Hillsboro Police Department. Avoid the area if possible.
