An ultra-light aircraft made an emergency landing near the 6th hole at Viera East Golf Course near mid-day Tuesday, after the pilot experienced apparent engine trouble after takeoff from the Rockledge Airpark at Barnes and Murrell.
“He said he usually comes out over the golf course. That way if there are any problems, he’s got some place to land,” said Mark Coleman, whose home is near the golf course.
Coleman said the unidentified pilot was unharmed.
“He just brought it in easily.”
The pilot called for assistance and several friends appeared to help recover the aircraft.
They wheeled it out in the road and carted it back to the airport,” Coleman said.
