NAPLES, Fla. — A plane made an emergency landing at the Naples Airport on Monday, a spokesperson confirmed to Fox 4.
Around noon, a pilot was taking off from the airport in their small Bonanza. When the pilot was about 100 feet in the air, an engine light came on.
The spokesperson said the pilot did not have enough time to open the landing gear, so the pilot landed the plane on its belly at the end of the runway.
"The pilot is highly experienced. This is his personal aircraft and we are just thankful that he is fine," said Robin King, NAA Director of Community Relations.
Crews are working to move the plane.
The pilot was the only person on board and was not hurt.
