A pilot prevented a tragedy from occurring in Jalisco, so he made the necessary maneuvers so that the plane he was piloting could make an emergency landing on the Macrolibramiento located in the municipality of Tala.
The plane made an emergency landing this Sunday, August 11, 2024, at kilometer 77 + 500 of the Macrolibramiento, near the town of San Isidro Mazatepec.
Why did a plane land on the Macrolibramiento?
Local and state firefighters responded to the emergency and reported that the plane had to make an emergency landing on the Macrolibramiento, due to a mechanical failure in the aircraft.
This forced the pilot to carry out emergency work to glide and land on the highway. Fortunately, no injuries or material damage were reported.
Only the Macrolibramiento lanes were closed to traffic, while work was carried out to remove the plane.
Other planes that made an emergency landing
On June 5, a Cessna-type plane made an emergency landing on land in the municipality of Ixtlahuacán de los Membrillos, also in Jalisco.
The State Civil Protection Unit of Jalisco reported that members of the National Guard closed the road for several hours to avoid accidents and to remove the plane.
Due to an engine failure, it had to land in the area of plots, which worried residents who live nearby, between the Macrolibramiento and the highway to Chapala.
The aircraft with registration XB-R0F is owned by the Delta Mexico Aviation pilot school, based in Guadalajara, Jalisco.
Another similar event was recorded on January 19, 2023, when a Cessna-type plane with registration XB-KVR took off from Talpa de Allende and was heading to Puerto Vallarta, in Jalisco.
However, two people died in that accident: the pilot Joel Sánchez González, and a 17-year-old girl identified as Samantha. There was one survivor named Diane, originally from Texas, United States.
