A single-engine aircraft approaching Phoenix Deer Valley Airport had to make an emergency landing in Northwest Phoenix Saturday morning, authorities said.
After encountering engine problems, the pilot was forced to land the plane on 43rd Avenue south of Pinnacle Peak Road at about 9:20 a.m., said Laura Brown, a spokeswoman for the Federal Aviation Administration.
The landing happened about three miles west of Deer Valley Airport.
Brown didn't have specifics on the engine problems, but she said the landing on 43rd Avenue was probably necessary.
"Pilots usually don't land on a road unless they have a serious reason to do so," Brown said.
There were no injuries and no damages to the plane which was a Van's Aircraft RV-6, an experimental aircraft with a wingspan of 23 feet.
