NTSB: Plane that crashed in Gila Bend stalled after takeoff

 

PHOENIX (AP) โ€” The National Transportation Safety Board on Wednesday issued a preliminary report on the recent crash of an experimental plane near Gila Bend Municipal Airport that killed a passenger.

 

Authorities said one person aboard the experimental plane was ejected upon impact and pronounced dead at the scene on June 15 while the other person was airlifted to a hospital with life-threatening injuries.

 

The NTSB report didnโ€™t name the two men, but said the pilot was the one who was injured.

 

According to the report, the planeโ€™s owner had just bought the Covie Quickie and was flying it to his home in Texas.

 

A witness told authorities that the plane struggled to gain altitude after takeoff.
