A twin-engine light plane has crash-landed at Maitland Airport.
The pilot, who was the only person on board, radioed the aerodrome just before 10.00 o'clock this morning to advise his aircraft was having problems with the landing gear.
It promoted a major emergency response from NSW Ambulance and NSW Fire and Rescue crews.
The pilot executed a belly landing on the runway, with the plane running off into grass alongside the airstrip.
He managed to get out of the aircraft and is being treated by paramedics - it's reported he's suffered only light bruising to his left arm.
Firefighters have laid a layer of foam around the aircraft as a precaution.
