SEDONA - A small airplane crashed Sunday near the Sedona airport, killing three people, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
The plane, which was in Arizona State University East's professional flight program, crashed on departure at 12:35 p.m.
The plane was headed to Williams Gateway Airport in Mesa, FAA spokeswoman Diana Joubert said.
A student pilot, Christopher Matthew Anderson, of Olive Branch, Miss., and flight instructor Angela Renee LaClair, of Mesa, were on board the plane. Identification of the third person, also believed to be an ASU student, had not been identified, ASU East spokesman Jeff Holeman said.
The plane, an A-36 Beechcraft Bonanza, was destroyed by fire, Joubert said.
The plane appears to have lost power as it was taking off and crashed into a runway fence, said Will Loesch, Sedona's fire marshal.
The plane was owned by Mesa Pilot Development, an affiliate of Mesa Air Group. It was used in the Aeronautical Management Technology Department's professional flight program.

This is concerning because I'm planning on going through this program next year. So what usually happens after an incident such as this and how will it effect the program? Is there a chance that ASU could be sued if it was a maintenance issue? I guess these things can happen but if it is a maintenance issue it's especially concerning.
