Smiths Falls Airport Incident GLDD

OPP having difficulty locating the plane - Pinging Phone and transponder

Word is they found the  pilot and the plane 1.5 hours later at 10:26 p.m.

I spotted this plane as I took a break from gardening. They are frequent flyers! 

May 17, 9:35 a.m.


Morning flight





9 p.m. our time, CBC and the police have reported on it. The pilot was injured, just minor injuries.



Took off at 10:12 a.m. UTC
landed UTC 10:52 a.m.

Up in the skies! There was a crash at the same airport in 2024. A crash during flight training.

May 17th's plane was up today.

HI Jenn... I do hope the pilot survived the crash...A couple of years ago, I saw a plane take off from our local airport...within seconds it disappeared...I knew it must have crashed... Unfortunately, there were no survivors. I think there were 5 men on board that day.

I hope the pilot was ok. This isn't very clear in the report.

Do you have any idea what they are doing? Guess is survey for that controversial train lane.

Yes, the pilot was injured, but just minor injuries.

Always good to know when people walk away from these crashes.

It really shows how quickly a routine, peaceful Sunday flight can turn into an emergency and it makes you look at those regular morning flyers just a little bit differently. Thank goodness for a safe ending!

Phew ... thank goodness the pilot only suffered minor injuries.

All the best Jan
