A DPS officer speaks to the aircraft owner as the towing company lifts aircraft, allowing landing gear to drop into place.
Thursday, July 5, at about 3:30 pm, a Cessna T337G, Tail # N325, landed on Runway 18-36 with its landing gear still up. No one was hurt. Nacogdoches Police dispatch and the FAA were contacted. DPS and NPD were both at the airport to investigate the incident. Airport staff issued a “closed runway” NOTAM and cancelled it when the aircraft was removed. A towing company lifted the aircraft and the landing gear was forced down. The plane was towed off the runway.
Ronald Jacobs, FAA Houston Flight Standards District Office (FSDO), arrived Friday, July 6, to continue investigations.
