Hamilton Airport-based CTC Aviation has confirmed a trainee pilot escaped injury after an emergency landing earlier this week.

The aircraft landed upside down in a paddock near the village of Ohaupo, near the airport.

The pilot walked away from the aircraft.

All single engine aircraft training flights at the Crew Training Centre in Hamilton have been suspended until further notice.
