The Ellington Fire Department is on scene at the airport after a plane overshot the runway and ended up in the trees. Minor damage to the plane and the pilot is uninjured. EVAC and CSP are on scene as well. Ellington Fire Department will remain on scene until the FAA arrives to conduct their investigation.
Airport officials said the pilot overshot the runway, went over a brook and into a field next to the airport.
The pilot was the only person on the plane and no injuries were reported, airport officials added. There is minor damage to the plane.
According to the airport, the plane is connected to Connecticut Parachutist Inc.
The incident remains under investigation.
Almost certainly the aircraft ran out of fuel (skydiving planes typically run light on fuel to maximize passenger carrying capacity) and the prop auto-feathered turning it into an shockingly efficient glider. Without regular practice the pilot never had a chance on the 1,900 foot runway.
ReplyDeletegot it all figured out do you?? maybe investigate a bit more before you drag some pilot through the muck..
