GILFORD,Blake Preston N.H. (AP) — The pilot of a small plane managed to avoid injury during a rough landing at the Laconia Municipal Airport in Gilford, authorities said.

The plane had to be hauled away on a truck. The FAA said it will post a report on its investigation.

Airport officials told WMUR-TV that there were no injuries. The name of the pilot was not released.
