A pilot escaped serious injury Saturday when his small plane made a hard landing at San Carlos Airport.

The 56-year-old pilot had left San Luis Obispo in a Mooney M20J plane on his way to San Carlos, San Mateo County sheriff's officials said.

While touching down, the pilot realized the aircraft's wheels were still up but landed anyway, a deputy said.

The incident forced shutdown of the airport while crews cleared the plane out, authorities said.

Yes, we are well aware of this & can not believe the Burlingame district is proceeding with theRead More plans for this school. The footprint of the school does not allow for safe drop off and pick up. I have seen a couple of different plans for the drop off line & none of them are adequate for the location. The traffic will surely be a nightmare & I hope we are not moved to this school, as there is not proper access for drop off. Also, not sure why the plans keep changing, maybe because they can not come up with a good plan.
