HONOLULU (KITV) — An investigation is underway after a single-engine plane experienced mechanical issues before landing in Kalaeloa.

The FAA says the single-engine Diamond D-A-40 landed around 12:45 on Monday afternoon.

Two people were on board — both survived.

The plane landed in a dirt lot — just off Kapolei Kai Street near the industrial area in Kalaeloa.

Honolulu fire crews had to help get the two people out of the plane.

Honolulu Emergency Medical Service crews treated the 77-year-old man and took him to a hospital in serious condition.
