The Cessna 172 crashed around 2:10 p.m. shortly after takeoff from Whiteman Airport in the San Fernando Valley community of Pacoima, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
The pilot, the only person on board, was transported in unknown condition, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. No other injuries were reported.
