Small plane crash-lands at North Perry Airport

Pilot reportedly OK

PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. – Emergency crews assessed the damage Tuesday afternoon after a small plane crash-landed on its nose at North Perry Airport in Pembroke Pines early Tuesday afternoon.

The pilot of the 2021 Sling Aircraft two-seat, single-engine light sport plane was reportedly unhurt after the crash, which happened at around 12:15 p.m.

According to the Federal Aviation Administration, the plane’s nose gear collapsed upon landing. An agency spokesperson said the FAA will investigate the crash.

It comes about a month after another small plane crash at North Perry Airport killed a flight instructor and a passenger and injured another passenger.

A pilot was seriously hurt in a banner plane crash at the airport in May.
