Crash

Sorry once again for lack of updates. Thought I'd pass this on about Wednesday's accident involving one of FTE's Warriors: the local paper has a good picture. If anyone is able to furnish me with a rough translation of the Spanish, t'would be fantastic.

Information so far is that the engine failed downwind in the circuit (solo student), and he put it in a field on realising he wouldn't make the runway. The landing was apparantly textbook up until the point where it hit a small ridge in the middle of the field (which hadn't been visible from above), which took out the landing gear. The pilot walked away from it though, which is the important thing.

More than that, we'll have to wait for the accident report...
