Pilot dies in Pangasinan trainer plane crash
ALAMINOS CITY, Philippines — A pilot died while his student was injured when a two-seater trainer plane crashed in Sitio Paradise in Barangay Telbang in this city at around 9:20 a.m. yesterday.
Capt. Daryl Uy died at the scene.
Caran France Kaura, 21, a resident of Barangay Pagkakaisa in San Narciso, Quezon, was brought to the Western Pangasinan District Hospital for treatment.
Initial investigation showed the trainer plane, with body number RP-C8202 and “Fly Fast” markings, crashed into a fishpond.
The aircraft took off from the Lingayen Airport at around 8:22 a.m. for an orientation flight.
