A pilot walked away with minor injuries after his small plane crashed during a training flight near the Smiths Falls airport over the weekend.
Emergency crews responded to the Russ Beach Airport, just east of Smiths Falls, for a report of a plane crash shortly after 9 p.m. Saturday.
Ontario Provincial Police say the pilot was simulating repeated take off and landing maneuvers in a Cessna 172 when the plane lost power and crashed about half a kilometre from the airport.
The pilot was able to walk to the Smiths Falls Fly Club’s facility.
The OPP says the Transportation Safety Board has been notified about the crash.
