HILLTOWN TOWNSHIP, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- The National Transportation Safety Board has revealed the cause of a plane crash that killed two people in Bucks County back in 2022.



The pilot, 55-year-old Brian Filippini, and flight instructor, 74-year-old Alfred Piranian, died in February when their plane went down in Hilltown Township.



The NTSB report says the plane experienced an aerodynamic stall, forcing a loss of control when the pilot was practicing maneuvers during an instructional flight.


The plane crashed into a residential neighborhood but no homes were damaged.
