The incredible footage, caught on a surveillance camera, shows the light plane colliding with a tree moments before it was due to land in Connecticut, in the United States.
The pilot of the 1981 Cessna plane was attempting to land at a nearby airport when he appears to veer sharply and lose control.
The small plane then collided with a tree in a carpark, before flipping upon impact.
Incredibly, the elderly male pilot escaped with just minor injuires.
