PA28 Piper Archer - Out of Fuel - Land on Road in Hungary

Nov 14 2010  - Piper PA28 Archer III Lands on a Road 

A very lucky day tonight for a pilot of a D-registered Piper Archer who safely performed an emergency landing on a highway on the outskirts of Brno around 18.00 local time (after dark).


The aircraft was en route from Germany to Hungary when its French pilot reported shortage of fuel to the air traffic control and notified them of his intent to land on a highway. The crew sustained no injuries, but the aircraft badly damaged one of its wings by hitting a street lighting poles.
