Pilot in deadly California plane crash didn’t have takeoff clearance, airport official says
The pilot in a plane crash on a Southern California island that killed all five people aboard did not have clearance to take off, an airport official said. The twin-engine Beechcraft 95 crashed moments after it departed shortly after 8 p.m. Tuesday from Santa Catalina Island’s airport near the island city of Avalon, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. Airport’s operating hours end for the day at 5 p.m. but pilots can arrange with management to arrive and depart before sunset, the airport’s general manager, Carl True, told the Orange County Register Thursday.
