Neither the pilot nor the one passenger aboard the 2011 Baron Beechcraft G58 dual prop plane were injured, according to a release from the Fairfield Police Department. The plane took off from the Essex County Airport and began experiencing electrical issues about six miles into the flight, the department said.
The pilot then turned back toward the Fairfield airport and his landing gear did not deploy because of the electrical problems, authorities said. This caused the plane to skid off the runway as it was landing.
