NTSB report leaves unanswered questions about deadly Windham plane crash
NTSB report: Pilot reported bad turbulence before crash in Greene County.
The NTSB is out with their report on a deadly plane crash in Windham, Nov. 24.
As NewsChannel 13 has been reporting, the plane was carrying three dogs rescued from a high-kill shelter. The pilot and one dog were killed. Two other dogs were hurt.
The plane took off from Churchville, Maryland at 4:40 p.m.
Around 6 p.m., the pilot reported bad turbulence at 5,000 feet. He then lowered his altitude to 4,300 feet, and reported the turbulence calmed a bit. However, altitude continued to drop until the plane ultimately crashed.
No distress calls were made, the NTSB said.
All major parts of the plane were found at the crash site, the NTSB said. That wreckage is now being examined.
