The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the runway collapse of a single-engine plane in Addison Tuesday.

A Piper PA-28 slid of the runway at Addison Airport at 6:57 p.m. Tuesday when it lost power during takeoff, David Jones, Addison Fire Chief, said in a statement.

The FAA said the issue involved the plane’s landing gear.

The pilot was the only person on board and there were no injuries.
