Grand Forks, ND (WDAZ-TV) - A pilot was forced to make an emergency landing at Grand Forks International Airport today.
A call came in around 10:30 this morning that a plane was having problems with its landing gear.
The six seater plane belongs to the UND Aerospace Foundation.
Several emergency responders were on scene.
Officials said the pilot circled the area for about an hour before landing safely on the tarmac.
“The pilots have indicator lights on their dashes that indicate whether the gears are down and locked. Indications were that the one gear was not actually locked, it could have been a faulty light, could have been a faulty wire, could have been actually not down, so we don't know for sure on that,” said Chris Deitz, Grand Forks International Airport.
Three people were reported to be on the plane.
No one was injured.
