Watch the moment a plane made an emergency landing at Newcastle airport #abcnewsaustralia #abcnews

A light plane has made a "textbook wheels-up" landing during an emergency at Newcastle airport.
Emergency crews were on standby after the pilot reported the plane's landing gear had failed just before 10am.

It is understood the Beechcraft Super King Air operated by Eastern Air Services was 10 minutes into its flight to Port Macquarie when the problem was detected.

The aircraft had to circle above, burning off fuel, for more than two hours before it made the landing at 12:18pm.
