TOWN OF AURORA, Wis. (AP) – A 78-year-old pilot escaped injury when a plane, not approved for flight, crashed at the Berlin Airport in central Wisconsin.

The crash happened just before 3 p.m. Saturday in the Town of Aurora.

Are they sure it is the FAA investigating? Usually crashes are investigated by the NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board). The FAA regulates aircraft and airspace, but once it plane crashes it’s not their problem. It’s the NTSB’s.

Any industry experts out there?
