Plane destroyed in WA crash, pilot fine

A LIGHT plane has been destroyed but its pilot only slightly injured after a crash landing metres from the edge of a dam in Western Australia.

The single-engine Jabiru plane suffered engine failure at around 2000 feet (610 metres) about 9.30am (WST) on Friday, forcing the pilot to ditch on the edge of Wungong Dam, 45km southeast of Perth.

The plane split in two on impact but the pilot walked away with minor injuries and did not require hospital treatment after being airlifted by the RAC rescue helicopter.

WA police officers were securing the crash scene, with Recreational Aviation Australia, the regulatory body for light aircraft in Australia, likely to carry out a review of the possible causes of the engine failure.
