The pilot of a single-engine plane, the sole occupant of the aircraft, was not seriously injured following a crash landing late Sunday at Rock County Airport, according to a report in the Wisconsin State Journal.
The plane reportedly slid to a stop without its landing gear deployed after 10 p.m. on Sunday. The pilot, a 56-year-old Illinois man, was not hospitalized.
The Rock County’s Sheriff’s Office said the plane slid without catching fire.
The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board will oversee an investigation into why the landing gear was not down.
The airport’s control tower reported to Rock County 911 at about 10:21 p.m. that the plane had power problems and was losing altitude.
