A small plane had to make a scary landing Tuesday at Brookhaven Calabro Airport in Shirley.

The aircraft was resting on its nose during the landing.

The pilot had to do what is called a "gear-up landing" after being unable to extend the plane's landing gear.

The pilot says the problem was caused by a circuit breaker malfunction.

News 12 is told he was the only one on the plane at the time.
