FAA and NTSB Investigate a Fatal Plane Crash on Pepper Drive and N Mollison Avenue in El Cajon

El Cajon, CA (December 27, 2021) – Monday night, four people died in a plane crash on Pepper Drive and N. Mollison Avenue.

The fatal plane crash happened just after 7 p.m. on December 27.

The FAA  confirmed in a statement Tuesday that there were four people aboard the Learjet 35A business jet that departed John Wayne Airport in Orange County and was on its way to Gillespie Field.

Moreover, the NTSB said the Learjet was on an instrument approach to Runway 17 at Gillespie Field when the pilot requested a change to a visual approach to Runway 27R.

Shortly after air traffic control cleared the plane to land, the aircraft crashed about 1.4 miles from the approach end of the runway.

Responders at the crash scene reported no one on the ground was hurt. However, power lines were down in the area due to the crash.

While rain was reported in the county during the time of the crash, it wasn’t clear if the weather was a factor. 

The FAA said the NTSB is the main agency handling the investigation.

Further investigation is ongoing.
