Seneca Piper plane's propeller scratched



While landing, during the test flight of Piper Seneca aircraft at the airport Batajnica, yesterday at 10:10, the three-pointed blades on its right engine was scratched.

During the landing there was a slight damage to the tips of the trilateral aircraft propeller which is why the aircraft was currently grounded for safety reasons as a regular procedure in case of emergencies.

The damage was minimal, and professional services examined the causes of this event.

A pilot operating the aircraft had completed appropriate training in the U.S., and possesses the license to pilot a multipurpose aircraft as well as competing practical training to fly in this airplane. It was the third flight for the purpose of training operators for aerial filming from Piper Seneca aircraft.
