The FAA and NTSB will investigate, and NTSB investigators are on their way to the scene with two more on the way, officials said.
The Marana Regional Airport is an uncontrolled field -- it does not have an operating ATC control tower. Pilots utilize a Common Traffic Advisory Frequency to announce their position to other aircrafts. The pilot in command is responsible for maintaining a safe distance from other aircrafts.
