Home camera captures Cessna plane flip in South Carolina backyard landing
A small aircraft made a rough landing in a backyard in Pelzer, South Carolina, causing it to flip over. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed the incident, which occurred on Sunday, June 29. Home surveillance footage captured the startling moment when the single-engine Cessna 150 tumbled through a grassy yard.
The pilot of the aircraft was attempting to land on a grass strip along Williams Road when he came in too fast. As the plane hit a bump in the uneven ground, it lifted back into the air unexpectedly. In a quick decision, the pilot chose to deliberately flip the aircraft to prevent further damage. Fortunately, the pilot survived the flip, according to the FAA.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is currently investigating the accident. The extent of the damage to the airplane has not yet been determined, but due to the substantial damage, the NTSB will classify it as an accident and open an investigation.
The surveillance footage of the incident shows the dramatic moment when the small plane overturned in the backyard. The NTSB’s investigation will provide more details on the cause of the crash and any contributing factors.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of proper landing procedures and maintaining control of an aircraft in challenging conditions. The pilot’s quick thinking and decision-making likely played a crucial role in preventing a more serious outcome.
