Pilot Wayne Petrus had no problems when he took the Zenith 701 plane for a test flight with the owner on Harsen's Island Tuesday, Local 4 reported. He was flying back to Louisiana at about 8 a.m. Wednesday when he lost a propeller, according to the report.

Petrus said he flew about an hour before the incident occurred.

"It was just a quick hit ... and the engine was dead," said Petrus.

Petrus said he was at about 2,000 feet in the air and knew he was going down, so he immediately looked for somewhere to land.

"I spotted the golf course," said Petrus.

Petrus made an emergency landing near the eighth hole of the Glenhurst Golf Course, located at Six Mile and Beech Daly roads, Local 4 learned. Golfers were preparing to tee-off at the hole when the plane landed, radio station WWJ reported.

Petrus said he did not see golfers when he landed, but did notice a golf ball rolling beneath his plane.

The landing gear on the plane was bent when it hit a hill on the golf course, but otherwise Petrus said, "Everything worked out great."

A tow truck was called to the scene to transport the plane off the golf course, according to Local 4. The wings were expected to be removed from the plane to transport it off the course.

The propeller was not located.

There were no passengers on board the plane, according to Local 4. No injuries were reported.

Officials from the Federal Aviation Administration are expected to investigate the incident.
