Public Affairs Bureau 909 377-8380Subject: CDF Aircraft Aborts Take Off, Pilot Uninjured
A California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CDF) Air Attack plane aborted a take off just before noon today at the Hemet-Ryan airport. The aircraft sustained minor damage and the pilot was not injured. The plane lost power to one engine during take-off. The pilot was able to avoid homes and power lines in the area by landing the plane in a field next to the runway.
Air Attack 301 is an OV-10A twin-engine aircraft used by CDF for command and control of firefighting airtankers and helicopters. Air Attack 310 was on a proficiency flight (not assigned to a fire) with only the pilot on board.
Firefighters from CDF/Riverside County Fire Department and Hemet City Fire Department responded to this incident.
A CDF investigation team is being assigned to investigate and assist the NTSB and FAA in determining the cause. |
