A Federal Aviation Administration spokesman says the plane crashed into a building on airport property while attempting to return to the runway.
The plane reportedly hit the north building of FlightSafety International, which then caused a two-alarm fire at the building.
Four people are still unaccounted for as of 2 p.m. EST Thursday. More than 100 people, employees and visitors were inside the building when the crash happened.
KAKE reports the pilot was the only person on the plane, but it's unclear how badly he was injured.
