A small experimental aircraft met with misfortune shortly after takeoff from North Perry Airport in Pembroke Pines, flipping over and crashing land side, triggering an investigation by authorities into the concerning incident. The Montaer MC-01, a single-engine plane, reportedly lost power and found itself upended a short distance from the airport runway yesterday, around 2:20 p.m. according to WSVN.
The pilot, who was alone on board, was able to exit the aircraft post-crash and was later transported to Memorial Regional Hospital with only minor injuries, now listed in stable condition. Alongside the physical response, firefighters addressed a resultant small fuel leak at the scene, mitigating immediate environmental and safety concerns. The Federal Aviation Administration, alongside the National Transportation Safety Board, is spearheading the crash investigation, striving to piece together the precursors to this sudden power outage as reported by Local10 News.
Preliminary reports do not delve into the specifics of the power failure, nor has there been discussion around causality, leaving open questions about the aircraft's maintenance and operational history. Furthermore, the plane appears to be registered to Bohemian Club LLC, a Delaware-based entity.
