Pilot Executes Flawless Emergency Landing at Newcastle Airport

A skilled pilot safely landed a plane without landing gear, avoiding injuries and demonstrating exceptional calm under pressure.

A Beechcraft Super King Air made a wheels-up landing at Newcastle Airport after a mechanical failure with the landing gear.
Pilot Peter Schott, praised for his composure, managed the aircraft for hours to safely land it without any injuries to himself or his two passengers.
The incident, which occurred after the plane had been in the air for three hours to burn off fuel, ended with no casualties and minimal runway damage.
Emergency services were prepared on the runway, but their intervention was not needed thanks to the pilot's skillful handling.
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau has launched an investigation into the mechanical failure that led to the emergency landing.
