KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Johnson County Executive Airport was temporarily closed after an incident Sunday evening.
Just after 6 p.m., a Daher-Socata TBM-900 (single-engine turboprop) aircraft experienced a nose gear collapse while landing, according to a county spokesperson.
The aircraft was returning to the Executive Airport from Lee C. Fine Memorial Airport, which is located at the Lake of the Ozarks.
Flight Aware shows the aircraft left the Executive Airport just before 11:45 a.m. and took off from the Ozarks around six hours later, just before 5:30 p.m.
No injuries were reported in the incident, and the plane has been removed from the airfield.
The clean-up temporarily closed the airport, which reopened Monday morning.
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the incident.
The county spokesperson added the incident was unrelated to the Garmin KC Air Show that took place over the weekend at the New Century AirCenter, which is also located in Johnson County.
