A small, single-engine plane crashed while approaching to land at Delaware Municipal Airport (DLZ) in Delaware, Ohio yesterday (July 28, 2010) just before 1:40 PM. Pilot Jim Moore, a Delaware councilman, was killed in the crash. He was the sole occupant of the Gobosh G700S (registration N8549S; registered as an Aero AT-4 Light Sport Aircraft).
According to reports, the pilot was flying near Highway 42 and London Rd when the pilot initiated a turn towards the west (in the direction of runway 28 at the airport). Witnesses stated that the aircraft appeared to stall (1) before crashing into the ground, impacting a tree in the process. There was a post-crash fire and witnesses attempted to help the pilot get out of the cockpit, but were unable to do so. The aircraft is operated by Spencer Aviation located at the airport. The wreckage site was located in front of the JEGS Auto Parts warehouse, east of the airport.
Winds at the time were from the west, gusting to 14 knots.
(1) For those of you who may not know, a stall in an airplane is often misinterpreted to mean that the engine stalled and stopped running. However, an aerodynamic stall is (roughly defined) as the state at which a plane stops flying either because the speed of the aircraft is not fast enough to generate adequate lift forces or because an abrupt movement has been made resulting in the loss of adequate lift. It’s a very rough definition, but at least you will know it is not engine related.
