LINGAYEN, Pangasinan, Philippines – A two-seater Cessna 150 plane was in total wreck after it crash-landed yesterday morning on a perimeter fence while it was about to touch down at the airport here.
Luckily, its two passengers, both pilot trainees, survived the crash and were taken immediately to an undisclosed hospital by a representative of their aviation school.
Employees here of the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines, however, said they could not give other details due to an existing memorandum regarding such incidents.
The STAR gathered though that the Cessna 150 plane, with marking RP-C8204 and owned by Fast Fly, took off at around 9:25 a.m. yesterday for the training of its two pilots.
But when the plane was about to touch down, it hit the perimeter fence of the airport.
Firefighters in two fire trucks immediately responded.
Several other aviation schools are also conducting their training in this capital town.
