On July 10, 2011, about 1115 eastern daylight time, a Piper PA-28-161, N9202C, registered to the Euro American School of Aviation Inc., was substantially damaged upon colliding with trees and the ground after a loss of engine power shortly after takeoff from the Ormond Beach Municipal Airport (OMN), Ormond Beach, Florida. The certificated flight instructor and student pilot sustained serious injuries. The airplane was operated under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 141 as an instructional flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan was filed.

The flight originated about 45 minutes prior to the accident from OMN, at which time the flight instructor and student pilot flew in the local area to practice flight maneuvers. The flight then returned to OMN to practice takeoffs and landings on runway 26. After the flight's second takeoff, the Ormond Beach Tower Control lost sight of the airplane.

The airplane collided with trees and terrain in a wooded area approximately 150 feet beyond the departure end of runway 26. The wreckage was resting just south of the extended runway centerline with its nose perpendicular to the centerline. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage and wings.

After the accident, the pilot reported that the engine had lost power just after takeoff.

After an on site examination of the wreckage by an FAA inspector, the airplane was recovered from the accident site for further examination.
