RCMP in Powell River say a problem with the landing gear likely caused a small plane to make a “belly landing” Thursday afternoon.
The pilot, a 79 year old man from Victoria, his co-pilot a 63 year old man, also from Victoria, and their 63 year old passenger – a woman from Powell River – had minor injuries but didn’t need to go to hospital.
The plane was a four-seater, dual-prop Piper Commander, and it suffered damage to the underbelly and both propellers.
The Transportation Safety Board is also conducting an investigation.
