The airport was shut down for five days as a result of a small airplane crash at the Carroll County Regional Airport in Westminster on May 1 at around 6:40 p.m., according to Chris Winebrenner, contacts director for Carroll County. According to Winebrenner, the fall did not harm the aircraft and no one was hurt.
The two planes of the single-engine plane were able to leave the vehicle on their own and were evaluated by Carroll County Fire and Emergency Medical Services, who determined that they were safe to remain in a hospital for further treatment.
The plane was a Cessna Model 172M Skyhawk, said airport director Mark Myers.
The helicopter had flown from Montgomery County Airport in Gaithersburg for a teaching practice, according to the Aviation Safety Network, and Washington International Flight Academy LLC owned it. On Tuesday, the club declined to name the two pilots who were involved in the accident.
” The plane crashed during a simulated powerplant- out landing and flipped over”, the show’s website says. In the fall, both inhabitants suffered minor injuries.
The Carroll County Department of Public Works said the aircraft was practicing an approach to the aircraft as part of a coaching practice. It was a planned getting, not an emergency, according to the agency.
The Carroll County Regional Airport maintains a second 5, 100- finger by 100- base airport, its site states. In Maryland, it is the sixth-largest non-military airport. The aircraft averages a combined 154 flights or crossings each morning, according to Winebrenner.
The final smaller plane crash at the airport occurred in 2018, when the planes of a privately held 1977 Piper Aero 3 were performing tactics without the engine’s assistance. The plane had to make an emergency landing because it could n’t get altitude during flight. That fall left no people hurt.
