A scary situation in the air over Owen Sound for a student pilot.
The pilot experienced total engine failure in his single engine light plane, and was forced to glide and make an emergency landing at the Billy Bishop Airport, east of the city.
The incident occurred at 12:30 PM Tuesday.
The airplane, a single engine Beechcraft Bonanza, was part of the fleet utilized by the Seneca College flight program based at the Buttonville Airport in Markham.
It was being piloted by a 21 year-old male student accompanied by a 21 year-old male passenger.
They had left Wiarton Airport on route to Midland.
While flying over Owen Sound they experience total engine failure at 95 hundred feet.
The passenger issued a mayday call which was received by air traffic controllers in Toronto as they looked for a place to land.
The pilot decided to glide the plane toward the Billy Bishop Regional Airport.
After gliding for several kilometres and descending the powerless plane was landed at the airport without incident. There were no injuries or damage to the aircraft.
