Ultralight Owner Must Get His Own Aircraft Out Of A Tree

Canada's TSB Says No Help Coming From The Government

The pilot of an ultralight aircraft that went down in some treetops near South Shore Regional Airport near Greenfield in Nova Scotia, Canada must find a way to get the aircraft out of the trees on his own, according to Canada's TSB.

The pilot, who refused to give his name to reporters, was not injured when his aircraft lost power and he set it down in the treetops of a heavily forested area about a half mile from the airport on June 5, according to a report in  the Chronicle Herald newspaper. Because there were no injuries, the TSB declined to respond to the accident, according to the report.

He said he responded as trained when the airplane lost power. "You land straight ahead into the trees and the plane stops, and you get out and climb down the tree," he said. He likened the experience to climbing a tree as a kid.

The TSB said it is the responsibility of the pilot and his insurance company to retrieve the airplane from the treetops. RCMP Staff-Sgt. Derek Smith told the paper that they are still working out exactly how to best accomplish the removal.
