A plane made an unplanned landing in a field northeast of Longmont\u2019s Vance Brand Municipal Airport on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

The plane, a Mooney M-20E, landed east of the runway at Vance Brand about 8:50 a.m. after the pilot reported an engine issue during takeoff, according to a preliminary statement provided by the Federal Aviation Administration. The FAA didn\u2019t immediately confirm whether the plane took off from Vance Brand, but said it took off about 8:50 a.m. as well.<\/p>\n

Neither of the two people on the plane was injured, and there was no fire at the landing site, city of Longmont spokesperson Sandra Seader wrote in an email around 10:20 a.m.<\/p>\n

The flight was for \u201cgeneral aviation,\u201d according to the FAA.<\/p>\n

The National Transportation Safety Board has also received reports of the incident, according to NTSB spokesperson Sarah Taylor Sulick, who directed the Times-Call to local officials for more information.<\/p>\n

The plane cannot be moved from where it landed until the FAA investigates, according to Seader. The plane, a small, white-with-blue-wings aircraft with tail number N3264F, still sat in the field as of about 10 a.m.<\/p>\n

A preliminary incident report is expected as soon as Wednesday, according to the FAA.<\/p>\n

More information, including any damages and identifying information about the two people in the plane, was not available.\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
