Four people

walked away uninjured from a small plane crash Saturday morning just south

of Peachtree City, according to the Fayette County Department of Fire

and Emergency Services.

The plane,

a Piper PA 34-200 owned by Peachtree Flight School, attempted to make

an emergency landing when it struck the ground, according to NTSB air

safety investigator Eric Alleyne. It had previously taken off from Falcon

Field, where Peachtree Flight School is based, he added.

The NTSB withheld

the names of the instructor and student pilot pending the outcome of the

investigation, which is still in its preliminary stage, Alleyne said Tuesday

morning.

The plane was

to be inspected by officials from the National Transportation Safety Board

today, according to NTSB air safety investigator Eric Alleyne.

The crash occurred

just before 10 a.m. Saturday as multiple emergency units searched for

the plane near Ga. Highway 74 South and Redwine Road, according to the

fire department. The plane was found in a field just behind Little One's

Day Care on Hwy. 74.

The plane was

flown under visual flight regulations, Alleyne said.

The investigation

will look at the plane's engine as well as the plane's maintenance records

and prevailing weather conditions, Alleyne said.

"Right

now, the focus is on the airplane," Alleyne said.
