Description:

CZ 10 556 EN

On 14th November 2010, UZPLN was notified of an air accident involving aircraft PA-28-181. Within FIR Prague, the pilot, who was flying VFR following his flight plan from EDXF to LHTL, found out a problem with fuel supply from the right wing, so he decided to land at LKTB. When in position 7 NM NW LKTB, the pilot reported he had a big problem that made him make an emergency landing as the amount of fuel left was not sufficient to land at LKTB. Shortly after that the pilot transmitted a message he was going to crash near Brno since he had run completely out of fuel. He then tried to land on the highway R43. At a height of about one meter above the ground the plane hit with its left wing a public lighting lamp pole while its main undercarriage ran into the crash barrier of the divider strip. The left wing was destroyed, the undercarriage left wheel broke off, the nose landing gear and the propeller were damaged during the crash. On hitting the ground the plane came to halt on the highway right side. Neither the pilot nor the passengers were injured. No people or property near the crash site was afflicted.
