Well we had a little mishap here in sunny Florida today.
Seems a student pilot on his first solo flight was on final to runway 25 at
KORL when he was apparently spotted flying the final a little too low. Some
witnesses say that he was warned over the radio that he was too low by
either another pilot or the tower.
The student pilot responded to the warning by pulling up and not applying
power, in effect stalling the airplane over the lake at the approach end of
runway 25.
The airplane stalled and fell into the Lake Barton where the pilot was then
rescued by a passing boater.
The airplane is apparently owned by the local CAP chapter.


The airplane involved appears to be owned by a private Florida-based
corporation, not CAP. How did CAP get associated with the accident story?
Sounds like the passing boater was lucky that the plane missed him based on the
reported distance that he was missed.
