PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. (WSVN) -- An airplane made a rough landing at North Perry Airport, in Pembroke Pines, Friday, at around 3:30 p.m.

Pembroke Pines Fire Rescue said a pilot and one passenger were aboard an Italian "TwinTec" plane known as Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam. According to the Broward Sheriff's Office, the plane's gear collapsed but gave no other reason for the emergency landing.

The twin engine airplane is currently on a runway awaiting a Federal Aviation Administration inspector to arrive on scene to check out the plane and document the circumstances of the rough landing.

Fire rescue crews remain on scene working with inspectors to examine the plane for damages, Friday evening.

Officials have not released where the pilot was flying from.

One onlooker saw the unexpected landing. "I saw it coming, like with a problem," said witness Domingo Bello, "and it started to shake, shake, shake, and I thought something happened. I took my key, and I tried to go, but I stayed a little bit to see what happened, and I saw the plane having a big problem to get down. It [sounded like] a big scratch on the floor. It looked like it caught fire."

The loud sound that was heard during the landing was most likely the landing gear collapsing, Bello said. He said that the passenger and pilot immediately jumped out of the plane, but he said it looked like they both thought the plane would have caught fire, so they wanted to get away from it as quickly as possible.

Both of those on board are now waiting for an FAA investigator. The plane will then have to be moved by crane.

The pilot and passenger were not injured. The rest of the North Perry Airport continues to function normally.
