Federal Aviation Administration

   


KING COUNTY, Washington — A Learjet 60 made an emergency landing at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on Friday evening after pilots noted hydraulic problems shortly after takeoff.

The Learjet 60 was forced to turn around and landed safely after circling in the air for about two hours to burn fuel.

The Port of Seattle sent fire trucks to assess the situation.

Three were on board, and no one was hurt.

The plane was towed to the west side of the airport, where small aircraft are normally parked.

The issues initially reported have yet to be determined.

The Federal Aviation Administration will investigate.
