Pilatus PC-12 at Innsbruck Kranebitten Airport (INN/LOWI)
On the 23rd of April, Boutique Air Pilatus PC-12 flight 48902 crashed into a field North-East of Mesquite Metro Airport, Texas. The aircraft lost power of its one engine and ended up spiralling to the ground just South of the US Highway 80. The plane took off from Dallas-Forth Airport en route to MSC Northwest Alabama Airport 15 minutes before the crash. The pilot only notified the ATC near Sunnyvale, TX, moments before the aircraft fell out of the sky. The aircraft was heading towards The Colony before it headed South East towards Plano, North of Garland. It finally turned South before it circled and came down in a field near Mesquite Metro Airport. The airport ended up closing traffic following the crash.
According to NBC 5 stated that condition of those onboard has published. However, it has been confirmed that one person has been taken to Baylor Medical Centre in Dallas.
The aircraft registered N47755 had one LVCOMING O&VR 360 SER engine. The gouge was visible in the field where the plane apparently first touched down before it turned and came to a stop. The fuselage was intact but one of the wings was broken off and went up on fire.
