EMERGENCY PLANE LANDING -- A 22-year-old student pilot from Utah Valley State College was unhurt after making an emergency landing in a field outside Spanish Fork on Monday. According to UVSC spokesman Chris Taylor, the pilot had flown from Provo to Milford in a Diamond Katana DA20-C1 and was on his return flight when he made the landing shortly before 11 a.m. It hasn't been confirmed, Taylor said, but UVSC believes the pilot probably ran out of gas. UVSC is not identifying the student, who is a licensed pilot who is seeking his instrument certification, Taylor said. There were no injuries to the pilot, and no damage to either the plane or the property it landed in. "For all intents and purposes, this really was a best-case scenario in a bad situation," Taylor said. "The student did everything he was supposed to do for a landing such as this."
