The Transportation Safety Board has deployed a team of investigators to look into an incident involving a plane at the Arnprior Airport.

Shortly after 11 p.m. Thursday, the landing gear of a twin turboprop plane failed as it touched down on the runway, according to airport manager Dan Lynch.

"We had a medevac flight coming in to our airport. On landing ... the front wheel gear collapsed, causing the aircraft to skid under control probably [600 metres] down the middle of our runway to where it came to a stop," said Lynch.

"There were three individuals on board — a pilot, copilot and a paramedic. There were no injuries."

Lynch arrived on scene shortly after and met the men, who he says "weren't shaken." He let them use his truck to drive to a nearby hotel for the night.

The plane, which originated in Sioux Lookout, Ont., sustained damage to its front wheel, a propeller and its nose, according to Lynch.

The Arnprior Airport has no regularly scheduled flights, and is primarily a hub for medevacs, police, hydro and Ministry of Natural Resources planes, as well as students taking flying lessons, Lynch said.

"I've been here for 19 years — we've probably had five small aircraft accidents. This is the first big one we've had," said Lynch.

All flight activity at the Arnprior airport has been suspended until TSB officials conclude their on-site investigation and the damaged plane is cleared from the runway.
