Air traffic controllers made three attempts in about 35 seconds to contact the pilot of a small plane that crashed in the township last month, but the pilot did not respond, according to a preliminary report on the crash by the National Transportation Safety Board.

The report, while not final, provides additional information on the crash that took the life of 61-year-old Pankaj Mohan of Lawrenceville, the founder and CEO of Princeton-based Sonnet BioTherapeutics.
