‘Textbook emergency landing’ at Newscastle airport says former head of safety at Qantas | ABC News [Video]

A light plane made what appears to be a textbook landing during an emergency at Newcastle airport.
Chair of AvLaw Aviation and former head of safety for Qantas Ron Bartsch told News Channel that the pilot did everything right to land the plane, particularly because the runway was wet.

It is understood the Beechcraft Super King Air operated by Eastern Air Services was 10 minutes into its flight to Port Macquarie when the problem was detected.
