The National Transportation Safety Board says the pilot of a plane that crashed at the Andrews Airport in Georgetown County Wednesday night was performing touch and go's at the airport at the time of the crash.
A spokesman for the FAA says the pilot was the only person on board the aircraft and died in the crash.
Georgetown County Sheriff''s deputies say the single engine plane crashed about 100 yards off the runway. The wreckage was in a heavily wooded area.
A touch and go is usually used for training and is when a pilot lands on the runway then takes off again without coming to a full stop.
The pilot's name has not been released.
The plane is a 1946 Stinson registered to Richard Gross of McClellanville.
