WILLIAMSTOWN — A plane safely landed at the Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Airport in Williamstown Tuesday afternoon after reporting trouble with its landing gear, officials said. The plane landed around 12:20 p.m. on runway 21 where emergency crews from the Williamstown and Waverly volunteer fire departments and emergency responders from the airport were waiting.
The pilot reported the landing gear was not fully deployed, according to Airport Manager Ben Auville.
The plane, a Cessna 310 two-engine six seater, tipped onto to its nose at landing, skidding before it safely stopped. No injuries were reported. The FAA in a statement said the nose gear of the plane collapsed while landing. Two people were on board, the FAA said.
The FAA will investigate and will post a preliminary accident and incident report, possibly today.
