On January 7, 2026, at about 0809 mountain standard time, a Beech K35, N6010E, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Prescott, Arizona. The pilot and flight instructor were not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 instructional flight. The pilot receiving instruction reported that upon arriving at the Prescott Regional/Ernest A Love Field Airport (PRC), Prescott, Arizona, they conducted an ILS approach to runway 21L. After they completed a touch and go landing and takeoff, they noted a positive rate of climb and retracted the landing gear. At about 50 ft agl, they heard a loud “bang” and observed the airplane’s propellor completely stop. The flight instructor then pushed the control yoke forward to maintain airspeed. Unable to maintain altitude the pilot initiated a gear up forced landing to the remaining runway. During the landing flare the airplane landed hard, which resulted in substantial damage to the fuselage and empennage. The airplane was recovered for further examination.
