SAVOY – University of Illinois aviation mechanics are trying to figure out what caused a UI training airplane's engine to fail Saturday, forcing the pilot and student to make an off-field landing.
Neither the instructor nor the student was injured in the landing, which occurred about 10:40 a.m. Saturday just south of Willard Airport in Savoy, according to Ginny Davis, assistant director of the UI Institute of Aviation.
