Grumman Traveler Down In Tallahassee, FL

Both Occupants Of The Airplane Survived The Accident

A Grumman AA5 Traveler went down Tuesday near Tallahassee International Airport (KTLH) in the Florida Panhandle, but fortunately both occupants of the airplane survived the accident.

Television station WCTV reports that the pilot reported "intermittent power outages" to air traffic controllers and was attempting to land at the airport when it went down a few miles from the runway.

KTLH Deputy Aviation Director Jim Durwin said that the flight did not originate at the airport, and it was also not their intended destination.

The plane went down in a forested area. First responders found the pilot and passenger conscious and alert when they arrived at the accident scene. They were transported to a hospital for treatment. The airplane appeared to have impacted at least one tree during the accident sequence, but did not catch fire.

The pilot had not filed a flight plan, so it was not known where the flight had originated or what was the intended destination.
