NEWLINE: PLANE LANDS WITH JUST ONE ENGINE

A twin-engine plane owned by HAVCO Wood Products Inc. landed on only one engine at Cape Girardeau Municipal Airport Sunday afternoon.

The pilot and four passengers were returning to Cape Girardeau from Knoxville, Tenn., when one of the engines on the Cessna 421 conked out five or six miles from the airport, according to an employee for Cape Central Airways.

The pilot, Dave Little, asked the airport tower to send city fire trucks, but they were turned back when the plane landed safely.

The spokesman said all pilots who fly multi-engine aircraft are required to practice landing on only one engine.

"He was not real concerned," the spokesman said. "He asked for the fire trucks because of his passengers."

The spokesman said the cause of the engine failure is unknown.
