Emergency services have been called to Scone Airport to reports a light aircraft is in trouble.

Police, fire and ambulance crews were alerted to the drama just before 10.00am on Friday, with the pilot reporting the landing gear could not be locked into place.

Scone Police have just advised the aircraft has managed to land and the pilot is reported to be uninjured.

Newcastle Fire Command says the pilot executed a 'textbook' emergency landing and a spokesperson from the NSW Ambulance Service has confirmed the pilot was not injured.
