N52854 KAUS Lady Bird Lake Crash
« on: June 25, 2022, 03:49:39 PM »
A Cessna 206, Texas game warden, smoke and zero visibility in cockpit. Ditched into Lady Bird Lake.

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department said a game warden pilot was involved in a plane crash Thursday at Lady Bird Lake in Austin.
“We are gathering more information about the status of the pilot and the airplane,” the state agency said.
The Austin Travis County EMS and Austin Fire Department responded to the crash shortly after 2 p.m. Thursday just west of the I-35 bridge.
Officials said the “small plane” was only occupied by the pilot when it crashed into the lake. No others in the lake were injured during the crash.
Officials described the pilot as “experienced.” According to investigators, the game warden was conducting a test flight after some routine maintenance on the 2009 Cessna T206 plane when the aircraft started experiencing problems.
The pilot was transported to a nearby hospital with “potentially serious injuries.”
