Exclamation "Pilots hurt in crash-landing" @ Jandakot

TWO pilots walked away with minor injuries after a plane crash-landed today at Perth's Jandakot Airport.

The pilots were attempting to land at the general aviation airport in the southern suburb when the incident happened about 10.30am (WST).
"It would appear the plane has crash landed at the eastern end of the runway," a police spokesman said.

The plane came to rest in a sandy area at the edge of the runway, he said.

The pilots were able to walk away from the crash and were receiving treatment for minor injuries at the command centre of the Royal Flying Doctor Service, also at Jandakot Airport.

Three Fire and Emergency Services Authority vehicles responded to the incident, along with two ambulances.

The cause of the crash is not yet known.
