The Waukesha County Airport was the scene of a no-injury accident this week, when a Mooney M20 single-engine aircraft landed with its landing gear up. The aircraft had been for a short 30 minute flight with two Boy Scouts on a Young Eagles Flight, with a Germantown man.

The aircraft slid approximately 800 feet along the runway. The passengers were not injured.

In 2007 there were 27 reported accidents in Mooney M20s, 13 in 2009 and no accidents in the first four months of 2010.

Authorities are investigating to determine why the landing gear was not deployed.

The Waukesha County Airport is quite busy, with over 59,900 operations (takeoffs and landings) in 2009.
