A single-engine airplane landed at Vance Brand Municipal Airport in Longmont this morning without using its landing gear.
Longmont police Cmdr. Jeff Satur said no one was injured.
Satur said Longmont police and fire responded to the scene to verify no one had been injured, and there had been no fire or smoke associated with the hard landing.
Airport Manager David Slayter said the pilot was the only person in the plane and had landed with the landing gear still up. He added that the plane suffered minor damage, and the Federal Aviation Administration is investigating.
So far, officials have not released the pilot's name.
The plane had been removed from the runway by early afternoon.
