A door on a twin-engine plane broke off and fell in the area of Bishop Peak in San Luis Obispo on Wednesday.

The door damaged the leading edge of the trail, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). No one on the ground or in flight was injured during the incident.

After the door fell off, the pilot safely landed the plane, with four passengers on board, at the San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport.

The FAA is investigating the incident.

Looks like a Dehavilland twin Otter, based on the image.


So sad it damaged the trail up to the peak ;)


I didn’t know the FAA investigates trails.
