A 52-year-old pilot wanted to land a small plane at Wangen SZ airfield shortly after 12 noon, police said in a statement on Tuesday. However, the landing maneuver failed due to a maneuvering error and the aircraft was no longer able to take off before the end of the runway, the statement continued.

The aircraft overshot the edge of the runway and came to a halt in the adjacent meadow, badly damaged. Wangen airfield was closed for around three hours.
