Socata TBM 700 (N194CS) with nose gear problems had to make an emergency landing Wednesday morning at
McGhee Tyson Airport. The aircraft is owned by Csoki Aviation Inc., of Knoxville.
The plane landed safely at the airport with the pilot and a passenger. Huckaby said the airport’s emergency vehicles responded to the plane after its landing in case assistance was needed.
No one was injured and no other planes or buildings at the airport were in danger during the ordeal. The plane landed at a parallel runway, so regular air traffic operations were not affected, Huckaby said.
“Both of our runways are used for commercial and general aviation traffic,” Huckaby said. “Because it happened on (just) one runway, it doesn’t impede traffic.”The Federal Aviation Administration responded and had the plane moved by noon, Huckaby said.
Csoki Aviation Inc., of Knoxville, owns the aircraft. According to online flight tracking website Flight Aware, the plane left Hanover County Municipal Airport in Ashland, Va., at 7:28 a.m. and arrived at its destination, McGhee Tyson Airport, at 9:15 a.m.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is investigating an emergency landing that happened at McGhee Tyson Airport Wednesday morning.
According to Becky Huckaby, an airport spokesperson, the pilot contacted the McGhee Tyson Airport's tower around 9:25 a.m. concerning a nose gear issue.
Airport officials were prepared for the single-engine plane to land hot.
"Our people are well trained to respond to this type of emergency.
We were on standby capacity," Huckaby said.
The rough landing caused significant damage to the plane but the two people on board, including the pilot, did not sustain injuries.
Since it was a private plane, it did not land on the primary runway.
"It did not impact operations here at our facility today because it did land on the secondary runway on our two parallel runway systems.
The primary runway, which is used for commercial operations, was not involved," Huckaby said.
It took approximately two hours for FAA and airport officials to remove the plane from the runway.
