  • NTSB releases preliminary report in Centennial plane crash that killed 2

    [ad_1]

    CENTENNIAL, Colo. — The National Transportation Safety Board released a preliminary report into a small plane crash during an instruction flight that killed both the pilot-in-training and the flight instructor near Centennial Airport earlier this month.

    Two people onboard the Beech P35 aircraft — identified as Perry “Matt” Feeney, 52, of Arvada, and Lee “Rob” Hill, 64, of Greenwood Village — were killed when their plane impacted a paved driveway of an industrial facility about a mile southeast of the airport the morning of Sept. 5.

    The NTSB stated that after a stop-and-go landing at the airport around 6:20 a.m., the aircraft began descending, but no distress calls were made.

    Witnesses reported hearing the engine stop and seeing the plane flying unusually low in a hard left bank before impact, according to the report.

    The NTSB stated that surveillance footage showed the aircraft descending in a left bank, then banking to the right just before the crash.

    The wreckage showed extensive damage with the engine pushed into the cockpit, according to the preliminary report.

    The cause of the crash is still under investigation.

  • Engine stopped before single-engine plane crash near Centennial Airport

    [ad_1]

    A single-engine plane crash near Centennial Airport earlier this month that killed the two people on board had its engine stop before the incident, according to a preliminary report.

    The early morning plane ride on Sept. 5 was an instructional flight, according to the report from the National Transportation Safety Board. The pilot receiving instruction planned to purchase a similar airplane to the Beech P35 plane they were flying.

    Perry “Matt” Feeney, 52, of Arvada and Lee “Rob” Hill, 64, of Greenwood Village were the pilot and passenger of the plane. The report does not specify who was receiving instruction.

    No distress calls were recorded from either pilot, the report said.

    A firefighter about 1.5 miles south of the crash heard the airplane fly overhead and then heard the engine stop completely, the report said. A woman who lives in a nearby neighborhood said she was walking when she saw the airplane flying on a different flight path and lower than she normally saw.

    “She heard the engine go silent and looked up to observe the airplane in a ‘hard’ left bank towards the airport and in a descent,” the report read.

    She thought the airplane was conducting training as it appeared normal, she said.

    Just before hitting the ground, the plane banked right, according to camera footage from surrounding businesses.

    The plane hit a paved driveway of an industrial facility, the report said. Portions of the right wing fell to the south of the debris path and the left wing was fractured.

    The report said it appeared the plane collided with several concrete barriers. The landing gear and flaps were both found retracted, the report said.
