The pilots of a Skywest Airlines 100-seat Fokker 100 jet were forced to declare an emergency on approach to Perth Airport this afternoon after a hydraulic warning light activated.
Fire and emergency service vehicles monitored the landing which was uneventful.
Skywest, which enjoys a perfect safety record, has a fleet of eight Fokker 100 jets.
