Small plane crash-lands at SLO County airport. Here’s what happened
A private plane crash-landed at the Paso Robles Municipal Airport on Friday morning.
A small, six-seat airplane carrying two people failed to lower its landing gear during its descent, Paso Robles Fire and Emergency Services Battalion Chief Brian Lewis said.
As a result, the single-engine plane landed on its belly and slid down the runway until coming to a stop, he said.
The plane was a Cessna T210 and had flown from Paso Robles to San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport earlier that morning, before encountering the problem on its return flight.
The incident did not result in injuries, but the airplane was significantly damaged, Lewis said.
