On Sunday afternoon at about 12:30 p.m., a twin-engine aircraft performed a belly or “gear-up” crash landing which occurs when an aircraft lands without its landing gear fully extended and uses its underside, or belly, as its primary landing device.

According to the Titusville Fire Department, the incident was caused by an “apparent landing gear issue” and no injuries were reported.

Belly landings are one of the most common types of aircraft accidents and are normally not fatal if executed carefully, according to aviation experts.

  4. They ran out of chem trail fluid which also acts as hydraulic fluid for full extension landing gear.
