Light Aircraft with Five Onboard Makes Safe Emergency Landing at Newcastle Airport, No Injuries
May 13, 2024, 03:16 AM
A light aircraft experienced a landing gear failure and was forced to circle Newcastle Airport in New South Wales for up to three hours before making a successful emergency landing without its landing gear. Emergency crews were dispatched to the scene as the plane, carrying up to five people including a pilot and two passengers in their 60s, attempted to burn off fuel to reduce weight for the landing. The pilot managed a flawless final landing after nearly four hours. Authorities confirmed that there were no injuries.
