Niagara District Airport says the small plane may have had landing gear problems

No injuries reported after a small plane made an emergency landing at Niagara District Airport.

CAO Dan Pilon tells us a Cessna had landing gear problems yesterday afternoon.

It landed on a grass strip near one of the runways.

The airport adds the pilot did a great job bringing it to the ground, and all three people on board walked away.

An investigation by authorities is on-going to determine exactly what happened.
