Pay particular attention to photo 1 of the gallery. Note the high tension towers, bridge, terrain and light standards. He's getting the gear down and about to turn north on I-75 near Blue Ash, OH. Base to final. He walked away AOK. No injuries. Not sure what happened to the SUV.

Also, keep in mind the pilot maintained airspeed and did not stall or stall/spin. By managing airspeed and the energy he had, plus perhaps some residual power, he walked away.

First rule, fly the airplane.

Authors note: I had planned the same destination today KLUK from KEHR. I chose not to launch because the G-AIRMET showed light to moderate icing for more than 1/3 of the route between FL040 and FL120. This pilot would have been in the icing area for a much longer period coming from KUMP.

Just something to consider.

Small plane crashes on I-75 near Ronald Reagan (WKRC)


Sorry, that doesn't meet my definition of a crash.

That's a deliberate, skillful landing with a lot of luck and/or help from the Chief Sky Pilot.

It drives me nuts when the media calls any off airport landing a "crash".

Flightaware has posted the ADS-B data and track log for the accident airplane N66FN. Note the airspeed and descent rates.
