ASL plane crash lands on Mabaruma airstrip

Jun 26, 2012 News

 
–    Passengers receive minor injuries  
A Cessna plane owned by Air Services Ltd (ASL) crashed onto the Mabaruma airstrip in Region One yesterday morning. However, no one was seriously injured.
Reports are that the 14-foot aircraft with registration 8R-GAS after touching down suffered a blow out of the wheels. This caused the plane to topple.
“This pilot is from Mabaruma and every time he comes here he always flying over his parents home which is dangerously low. Plus this same pilot powers up the engine and lifts the aircraft from the middle of the airstrip whether it has weight or not. When it has weight it is dangerous; authorities should investigate,” one irate resident said
Reports from other residents disclosed that the plane touched down very hard almost at the middle of the airstrip which contributed to the wheels being damaged.
Yesterday, Air Services Ltd dispatched another plane to the scene to rectify the damage to the wheel.
The pilot who was identified as Ronnie Totaram was travelling with 14 passengers in the plane. Among them were three infants.
In June, 2011 a Cessna Caravan belonging to ASL damaged its propeller while landing on a runway at Eteringbang, Cuyuni.
