A small airplane landed safely at Briscoe Field in Gwinnett County
just before 10 p.m. Friday after the pilot reported he was experiencing
landing gear problems.
Gwinnett fire spokesman Lt. Colin Rhoden said the plane’s landing
gear did not automatically lower and when the pilot tried to lower the
wheels manually he didn’t get a “gear down” indicator light.
The pilot did a few fly-bys so individuals on the ground could confirm that the landing gear had, in fact, been lowered.
“[The] pilot safely landed the airplane without incident,” Rhoden
said. The pilot, who was the only person on the King Air 300, had three
hours of fuel on board, the spokesman said.
He landed safely around 9:45 p.m. Briscoe Field is located about two miles northeast of Lawrenceville.
