Doug Newson, CEO of the Charlottetown Airport Authority, says neither of the plane’s two occupants was injured. The plane was towed off the runway.
The pilot had been giving flight training.
Newson says the plane, a Cessna 172, was experiencing engine trouble when the pilot declared at 3:39 p.m. the need to make an emergency landing at the airport.
The airport activated its emergency response procedure.
The plane landed safely at 3:47 p.m.
Newson says a pilot calling in an emergency landing at the Charlottetown Airport is rare, happening perhaps once every two or three years.
