Diamond DA20: Hard landing. Flight instructor and student pilot uninjured. Pueblo Airport, Colorado. (With Video)



An instructor and a student walked away from a "hard landing" Monday afternoon at Pueblo Airport. One of the runways is closed.

An Air Force representative called the crash a "hard landing," which "dinged up the aircraft."

An airport representative who spoke LIVE on KKTV 11 News at 5:30 said the plane had difficulty while landing around 3:45 p.m. It left the runway and traveled about 125-feet south.

John Van Winkle with the Air Force said the plane is a Diamond DA20, which is a propeller driven side-by-side seated airplane. A lieutenant was onboard with a Doss Aviation pilot. The lieutenant was doing flight screening, basically learning how to land at airfields and learning the basics of flying.

Both the instructor and the student walked away without injuries. The NTSB is beginning their investigation into the crash.
