Pilot Fatal Crash! What NO ONE Said About The N7677C CRASHED, New Update...
On July 25, 2020, at South Valley Regional Airport, a small field 10 nautical miles south of Salt Lake City, Utah, the pilot of Piper PA-32 Cherokee Lance, N7677C, readied for a flight that would push the boundaries of skill and environment. At 4,606 feet elevation, beneath the shadow of Class Bravo airspace, the uncontrolled airstrip demanded precision, yet subtle misjudgments loomed—overlooking a shifting wind and the crippling grip of high density altitude. This tragedy, etched in the wreckage of a West Jordan neighborhood, underscores a vital truth: even seasoned pilots must bow to nature’s limits. What happens when preparation meets the unrelenting realities of thin air and heavy loads? Let’s find out in this episode!

The pilot, aged 43 with 800 hours of flight time, held an instrument rating earned months earlier and high-performance and complex endorsements from December 2019.
He filed an instrument flight plan for a cross-country trip to Page, Arizona, followed by a Grand Canyon sightseeing flight for his passengers: his wife, seated upfront to assist navigation, their one- and two-year-old children, a family friend, and her 12-year-old daughter. At 12:30 PM, he requested a fuel top-off, and security footage captured his pre-flight inspection by 1:10 PM. He discussed weight, balance, high temperatures, and altitude with his wife, assuring her of safety despite the 32°C heat and 7,292-foot density altitude reported at 1:15 PM, with clear skies, 10-mile visibility, and 6-knot winds from 150 degrees.

The pilot’s examiner had emphasized density altitude after a missed test question, reinforcing its risks for normally aspirated engines. Confident from prior successes, he taxied toward Runway 16, unaware of the shifting conditions that would soon test his preparations beyond their limits.
Takeoff and Flight Dynamics
At precisely 1:37 PM on July 25, 2020, the Piper PA-32 Cherokee Lance, N7677C, roared down Runway 16 at South Valley Regional Airport, its engine straining under the weight of a critical moment. The aircraft, a normally aspirated single-engine plane, carried a calculated takeoff weight of 3,531 pounds—perilously close to its maximum gross weight of 3,600 pounds. Its center of gravity, measured at 92.84 inches aft of datum, sat within the allowable limit of 95 inches, but the numbers masked a harsh reality. Loaded with six passengers, full fuel, and baggage, the Cherokee Lance was poised to confront the unforgiving physics of high-altitude flight, where every pound mattered.
