A plane crash that killed a pilot in the Hamptons earlier this year has prompted a new safety warning from the Federal Aviation Administration.
According to Newsday, the FAA is now advising any pilots flying the Seamax M-22 aircraft to be sure pre-flight checks guard against what is considered to be a possible cause of that crash: a missing nut that held the right wing in place.
Pilot Kent Feuerring was killed in October after his single-engine airplane went down on the East End.
Witnesses reported seeing a wing fall from the aircraft before it spiraled into the water.
