(Portland, OR) -- The National Transportation Safety Board has released a preliminary report on the plane crash in Newberg October 3rd that killed two people. Twenty-year-old Barrett Bevacqua had a single engine pilots license and it was his first flight in a multi-engine training program. Those flights can include stalls, slow flight, emergency maneuvers, and steep turns. The plane was flying 79 miles an hour when its descent began. Witnesses say the plane was near-vertical when it crashed. Bevacqua and flight instructor Michele Cavallotti were killed. Emily Hurd, a student pilot in the backseat, survived the crash. She remains hospitalized. This week, she was flown to Spokane to be closer to her family while she recovers.
