Small plane makes belly landing at Nagasaki airport

Japan Times -- Jun 29

A twin-propeller plane made a belly landing Thursday at Nagasaki airport due to mechanical trouble, causing a brief runway closure and the cancellation of over a dozen flights, the airport operator and the transport ministry said.

The three people aboard the Beechcraft Baron G58 were not injured. The accident occurred around 10:30 a.m. during a "touch-and-go" drill meant to practice landing and taking off again without making a full stop.

The trouble occurred following two successful attempts at the drill. The airport regularly conducts training for small aircraft.
