Plane makes emergency landing at Pacific Palisades golf course

A plane was forced to make an emergency landing at a golf course in the Pacific Palisades Friday afternoon after failing to navigate a landing at the Santa Monica Airport.

The plane made the emergency landing just after 1 p.m., at Riviera Country Club on the 1200 block of Capri Drive.

According to the Los Angeles Fire Department, the plane landed safely at the golf course and all three occupants were uninjured.

L.A. and Santa Monica fire departments responded to the scene and were investigating the plane itself, officials said.

Additional details remain limited at this time.

Nearly the same time the plane made the emergency landing, a plane reportedly overshot the runway at the Fullerton Airport in Orange County.

This emergency landing, like all aircraft emergencies, will be investigated by the National Transportation Safety Board.

The Riviera Country Club is a well known private golf course on the PGA Tour, and has hosted several high-profile tournaments throughout its history. It is the scheduled to be the dedicated site for golf during the 2028 Olympic games.
