Plane belly-lands at Jandakot

A flying instructor and his younger passenger have been forced to belly-land a small plane at an airport near Perth after an undercarriage malfunction.

Police said the wheels on the Piper Seneca could not be lowered when the plane landed at Jandakot airport at about 3.18pm.

The plane remained intact and the 68-year old male instructor and his 25-year old male student pilot were treated for minor injuries by two St John’s Ambulance crews who were coincidentally already at the airport.
