in Maryland admitted he goofed on approach — and told a 911 dispatcher he didn’t know how long he and his passenger could remain perched in the aircraft above the ground.
“I’ve flown into a tower to the northwest of Gaithersburg airport. It’s one of the electrical towers, and believe it or not, the aircraft is pinned in the tower,” Merkle told dispatchers,“I don’t know how long we’re going to be able to stay here,” he says, explaining that he and his passenger, Jan Williams, 66, suffered head injuries.Williams also says her rib may be cracked.The plane was left dangling about 100 feet off the ground.
“We’re looking for the airport. I descended to the minimum altitude and then apparently got down a little bit lower than I should’ve,” he says in the 911 call. Moments before the accident, an air-traffic controller advised Merkle that he was too low during the instrument approach.
