A small plane made an emergency landing Sunday in Kearny Mesa after experiencing landing gear problems, the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department said.
The plane’s pilot, with three people aboard, reported that the craft was circling Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport at 1:21 p.m. Sunday to burn fuel before attempting the emergency landing.
Fire crews arrived at the airport, at 3750 John J. Montgomery Drive, shortly after the distress call. They stood on standby while the plane prepared to land.
At about 1:50 p.m., the plane landed safely and the fire department canceled the call.
