Plane's landing gear fails to deploy during landing at Rapid City Regional Airport
A
small private plane landed on the Rapid City Regional Airport's runway
without having its landing gear deployed, forcing a closure of the
airport's commercial runway for about an hour Saturday afternoon.
Toni
Bloom, deputy airport director for finance and administration at the
airport, said no one was injured when the small plane landed at about 3
p.m.
One person was flying the plane and no passengers were
aboard, she said. The reason for the failure of the landing gear's
deployment is still being looked into.
Bloom said commercial
flight landings were delayed so the runway could be cleaned off and
swept for debris, but said she was pleased with how the airport's staff
handled the situation.
"No one got hurt, it was handled efficiently and everything is back to normal now," she said.
