Man who died in plane crash not certified to fly plane

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A Portland man who was flying a Cessna Citation 560 that crashed into the Mutton Mountain Range on Warm Springs land last month was not certified to fly that type of aircraft, according to a preliminary report by the National Transportation Safety Board. The Oregonian/OregonLive reports the preliminary report was released Thursday and is subject to change. The pilot of the flight that left Troutdale for Boise, Idaho on Jan. 9 was previously identified as Richard Boehlke. The report says the pilot held a private pilot certificate that was rated for the Grumman G-111 Albatross and Learjet, but “FAA records did not indicate that he held a type rating for the Citation 560.”
