CHATHAM — The plane that crashed into Lovers Lake on Saturday was towed from the water Sunday and now rests in temporary storage at Chatham Municipal Airport awaiting National Transportation Safety Board investigators.
Neither the pilot, Peter Brenner, 24, of New Hyde Park, N.Y., nor his passenger, James Holler, 58, of Marstons Mills, was injured when the single-engine Cessna 182D landed in the water Saturday afternoon.
The NTSB could release a preliminary report as early as the end of the week but could take months for the final report or issue a finding with no conclusion, Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Jim Peters said Monday.
The Cessna was approaching the Chatham airport when it crashed, Peters said. The plane sank after impact but the two men were able to get out and make it to shore. The two suffered minor injuries and were treated at the scene.
According to the FAA database, the Cessna is corporately owned, with an address of 1000 Race Lane, Marstons Mills.
According to the police investigation, the plane is sometimes used by Skydive Cape Cod, based at the Chatham airport, but it was not believed to be in use for that purpose at the time of the crash.
