Winnebago County (WFRV)- A plane had to make an emergency landing in a field in Winnebago County. No was injured.
The small plane came down in a farmer’s field just north of Highway 44 near the intersection of Knott Road and Ripple Avenue.
An EAA spokesperson said an EAA flight instructor had to land her plane because she had some trouble with it. At the time, she was flying with an EAA student.
EAA official Dick Knapinski told Channel 5’s Angenette Levy “Pilots usually train for emergency landings but it’s something you hope you never have to execute. The big thing you hope to execute in an emergency landing is get the airplane down and land the airplane safely.”
The NTSB and the FAA will investigate the landing.
