TANJUNG KARANG: A 21-year-old trainee pilot in a two-seater Eagle light aircraft survived after the plane crashed into a padi field near here yesterday when he tried to make an emergency landing.

Tengku Zamir Farhan Tengku Zahidi, who was on a training flight from Ipoh to Kapar, fractured an arm and injured his jaw in the incident which occurred at 4.50pm.

He was believed to have tried to land the plane at Block R, near the Tanjung Karang padi field, but encountered difficulty and the plane overturned and crashed into the padi field.

It was learnt that Tengku Zamir is a student of Syarikat Intergrated Training Centre based in Ipoh.

Kuala Selangor district police chief Superintendent Mohd Taib Ahmad said Zamir was lucky to have escaped with light injuries.

"He has been admitted to the Tanjung Karang Hospital. We have informed his family."

When met at the hospital, Zamir said he tried to make an emergency landing because he suddenly felt his face turning numb during the flight and he managed to inform the control tower.

"I had to land immediately. Maybe because I was tired and dehydrated because I had been flying for several hours."

Villager Alwiyah Salim, 49, said she was about to perform her asar prayers when she heard a loud noise.

"I looked up and saw a plane that was coming down slowly as though trying to land. I rushed out of the house with my brother and went to the area where we thought the plane landed.

"When we reached there, we saw the plane upside down and the pilot was out of the plane, but he looked dazed and was injured."

She said the pilot borrowed her handphone and contacted his family in Lumut, Perak.

"We rushed him to the hospital after that."
