“We’re Losing Power…” | Emergency Landing on Highway

Small airplane makes emergency landing on highway following engine loss on takeoff from Falcon Field Airport in Mesa, Arizona. The Piper Cherokee (N8923J) declared an emergency shortly after taking off and couldn't make it back to the airport before ultimately making a forced landing on the highway.

The Piper Cherokee was being used for flight instruction and was on its 9th lap around the field before radioing Falcon Field Airport ATC an emergency alert that they were experiencing an engine loss after take off. Amazingly, the Piper Cherokee was able to pull off an incredible emergency freeway landing after engine failure where both student and flight instructor came away from the crash landing uninjured.

This video includes live flight tracking and live ATC from Falcon Field Tower of the events leading up to the Piper Cherokee successfully pulling off an emergency landing on the freeway. Also included is footage from local Phoenix, Arizona news outlets of the plane on the local 202 highway after the emergency landing.

There are reports the forced landing was due to the plane running out of gas after its 9th lap of the field, however, this general aviation emergency is currently being investigated.
