FAA looks into crash of small plane

An investigator from the Federal Aviation Administration was expected to visit the site of a small plane crash in Mapleton, Maine. The Bangor Daily News reported that Patrick Driscol, 39, tried to land the pontoon-equipped, single-engine plane on Hanson Lake Sunday evening, but the engine failed and he crashed in a field off Route 227. Driscoll walked away from the crash uninjured. The plane, a Cessna A185F, sustained damage to at least one float, the fuselage, propeller, and right wing.
