On April 18, 1997, about 1700 eastern daylight time, a Cessna 150M, N63666, registered to Ormond Beach Aviation, crashed while making a forced landing following loss of engine power at Ormond Beach, Florida, while on a Title 14 CFR Part 91 instructional flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plan was filed. The aircraft received substantial damage and the commercial-rated flight instructor and private-rated dual student were not injured. The flight originated from Ormond Beach, the same day, about 1610.

The flight instructor stated that while on a practice instrument approach, about 3-4 miles north of the airport at about 700 feet, the engine failed due to fuel exhaustion. They were unable to make it to the airport, and while making a forced landing in a field collided with trees.

The operator reported that the undamaged right fuel tank contained 1 quart of fuel after the accident and the undamaged left tank contained 2 quarts. The aircraft had been refueled on the morning of April 18, 1997, and had flown 4.2 flight hours since the last refueling until the engine failure and accident.
