SABETHA — A 56-year-old Bern pilot avoided injury Tuesday afternoon in Nemaha County during a rough landing — the result of mechanical failures in the single-engine aircraft, authorities said.
Emergency personnel responded around 4:15 p.m. to Sabetha Municipal Airport, which is about a half mile east of the city.
The Kansas Highway Patrol said Daniel J. Stallbaumer was attempting to land the aircraft and lost control because of mechanical reasons, which led to the plane leaving the runway to the east and striking a light pole.
Troopers said the pilot was wearing a seat belt and wasn’t injured.
The plane was a 2006 Piper single-engine aircraft.
