Federal officials are now investigating after a small plane landed on its belly at Yeager Airport Saturday afternoon.
Airport officials say the landing gear did not deploy and had to skid to a stop.
The pilot and only passenger were not injured.
One of the airport's runways had to be closed for a short time, which delayed some flights.
The airport was made aware of the problems before the plane landed and federal officials are now talking with the pilot about what went wrong.
