Landing gear complications

Fire crews respond to call at Medicine Hat Regional Airport on Thursday

Feb 20, 2026 | 10:49 AM

Medicine Hat Fire and Emergency Services attended to a call at the Medicine Hat Regional Airport (YXH) on Thursday afternoon.

A representative from the fire department confirmed that a pilot reported that the landing gear for their airplane wasn’t coming down.

This led to the pilot circling the airport, where it was visually confirmed that the landing gear was down, as the pilot was unable to confirm that it was locked in place.

Crews from fire stations two and three were ready on site near the runway at the airport with their crash truck to assist if needed.

The plane did land without incident.
