Investigators have not confirmed that, and have not said whether the Cessna was landing or taking off when it went down.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>A touch-and-go is the backbone of circuit training: land, roll, reconfigure, take off again without stopping, and go round the pattern to do it once more. It compresses the busiest and most demanding parts of a flight into a repeating loop, which is exactly why it is taught and exactly why it leaves so little margin. The aircraft is low, slow, close to the ground and being reconfigured, all at once.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>A wing striking the runway during a landing is consistent with a loss of directional or lateral control at low speed, but so are several other sequences, and a witness account from a parking garage is not evidence. The NTSB will work from the wreckage, the engine, the flight controls, radar and radio data, and the pilot&rsquo;s records. That process takes months.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;margin:24px 0\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mZilhJRU4Hk\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n<p style=\"font-size:14px;color:#777;text-align:center;font-style:italic;margin-top:-8px\">What circuit touch-and-goes involve in a Cessna 172, from a flight training perspective.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">A busy general aviation field in the middle of a city<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Montgomery-Gibbs is not a quiet strip. It serves private and corporate flying, charter, air ambulance, law enforcement, fire rescue, flight training and light cargo, from a site surrounded on all sides by Kearny Mesa.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The FAA closed the airport immediately after the crash and gave no timeline for reopening. Raines said that decision would be taken with the NTSB and the airport, depending on what the investigation required.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Skyhawk is the most-produced aircraft in history and the machine most pilots learn on. That is the uncomfortable part of a day like this one. It is not an exotic aeroplane doing an exotic thing. It is the aircraft in the circuit at almost every training field in the world, on an ordinary Monday evening.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<style>.mfq{margin:34px 0 8px}.mfq h2{font:26px\/1.3 \"Gilroy semiBold\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#0d1117;padding-top:22px;margin:0 0 6px}.mfq .qa details{border-top:1px solid #5C91FF;margin:0;padding:0}.mfq .qa details:last-of-type{border-bottom:1px solid #e2e7ee}.mfq .qa summary{cursor:pointer;list-style:none;display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;gap:16px;padding:22px 26px;font:18px\/1.7 \"Gilroy semiBold\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#0d1117}.mfq .qa summary::-webkit-details-marker{display:none}.mfq .qa summary::after{content:\"+\";font:24px Helvetica,sans-serif;color:#3568e0;flex:0 0 auto}.mfq .qa details[open] summary::after{content:\"\\2013\"}.mfq .qa details:hover summary{color:#3568e0}.mfq .qa .a{font:16px\/1.7 \"Gilroy regular\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#454e5e;padding:0 26px 24px}.mfq .qa .a a{color:#3568e0}@media(max-width:680px){.mfq .qa summary{padding:18px 14px;font-size:17px}.mfq .qa .a{padding:0 14px 20px}}<\/style>\r\n\r\n\r\n<section class=\"mfq\"><h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2><div class=\"qa\"><details open><summary>What happened at Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport on 7 September 2026?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">A Cessna 172 Skyhawk crashed and caught fire on a runway at Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport in San Diego at about 17:20 local time on Monday 7 September 2026.
