On March 15, 1995, at 1400 central standard time, a Cessna 150, N60564, operated by Christl Aviation, and flown by a student pilot, collided with soft terrain during the takeoff phase of a stop and go landing at the West Fargo Utility Airport, West Fargo, North Dakota. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed. The solo instructional flight was being operated under 14 CFR part 91. The pilot was not injured and the airplane was substantially damaged. The flight originated from West Fargo, North Dakota, at 1320 cst.

The student stated the accident occurred during his second solo flight. He stated he practiced three touch and go landings with his instructor in the airplane. The instructor exited the airplane and he performed six solo stop and go landings. He stated he made the sixth landing without incident. He added power to start the takeoff and noticed that he had forgotten to raise the flaps. He stated that the right wing of the airplane raised up and the airplane veered to the left. The airplane traveled off the runway, into an area of soft terrain. Upon contacting the soft terrain, the nose gear collapsed and the airplane came to a stop.
