MADISON (WKOW) -- A general aviation plane suffered a landing gear failure upon touchdown at Dane County Regional Airport late Saturday morning.
The two-engine turbo prop Cessna Conquest was manned by a single pilot, when the front nose gear collapsed while landing on an auxiliary runway shortly before noon.
Airport officials say the pilot alerted air traffic control of a possible landing gear problem at 11:34 AM, while approaching the airport. The primary runway remained open during the incident.
No major injuries were reported. The Madison Fire Department transported the pilot to a local hospital, on a precautionary basis.
