PIlot's first solo flight. Aircraft clipped a power line just after departure and landed in a field.

A pilot walked away from the crash landing of a small plane in Goodyear.
The single-engine prop plane out of Phoenix Goodyear Airport made what authorities described as a “hard crash landing” at 7:30 a.m. about 200 feet south of MC85 between Sarival Avenue and Cotton Lane.

The same aircraft was involved in a similar landing incident on May 31, 2016.

His pan pan pan was for an ECU failure (Engine control unit). Aka imminent engine failure from what I'm Reading online. Poor bloke first solo first forces landing.
