REYNOLDSVILLE, Jefferson County — A gust of wind contributed to a June 5, 2006, plane crash that seriously injured the pilot.

The plane was owned by the Condor Aero Club in Zelienople.

The unidentified pilot inadequately compensated for the winds, which caused the plane to stall and crash as it approached the runway, according to a probable cause report released this past week by the National Transportation Safety Board.

A passenger, Dan Plaisted of Butler, suffered minor injuries.

The Piper PA-28-180 was severely damaged as it caught fire on impact.
