- Phoenix Fire crews found the aircraft upside down on its roof and reported no fire or detectable fuel leaks.
- Medics took both people to a hospital for precautionary checks, and officials described their condition as stable.
- The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office took control of the scene as the FAA and NTSB began reviewing what led to the crash.
