ALBANY — Two people were uninjured when a small plane experienced a landing gear malfunction while attempting a landing at the Southwest Georgia Regional Airport around noon Saturday.

According to Albany Police Department spokesperson Phyllis Banks, the pilot of the Mooney M20C reported to airport officials that he was flying into the SWGA Regional Airport from the McCollum Airport located in Cobb County.

As he approached the main runway to land, the plane’s landing gear malfunctioned.

The report did not identify either the pilot of the aircraft or its occupants.

Clearance was granted and a local wrecker company assisted with the removal of the plane, according to an APD report, which initially noted that additional Delta flights might possibly be affected. However, two pilots later landed their craft on a secondary runway.

The small aircraft was removed from the main runway, which is now open for inbound and outbound flights.
