Scottsdale Airport closes for
hours after jet's 'hard landing'
A small passenger jet attempting to touch down at Scottsdale Airport had a "hard landing" Monday afternoon after its landing gear failed, according to airport officials.
The incident shut down the airport's lone runway for more than two hours, with aircraft being diverted to Deer Valley, Phoenix Sky Harbor International and other nearby airports.
Sarah Ferrara, aviation planning and outreach coordinator for Scottsdale Airport, said two crew members had been on board the Hawker-brand jet.
No one on board was injured, according to Scottsdale Fire officials.
At about 6:15 p.m., the jet was resting on the runway tilted forward onto the nose, and six people were inspecting the aircraft.
Ferrara indicated the plane belonged to Scottsdale-based Pinnacle Aviation, which provides private charter services.
