Just got informed of a forced landing on Brewery Road, Kapunda a few minutes ago. Unsure of aircraft type and if any damage but most important thing is that the pilot is out and safe!

A LIGHT plane flipped after making an emergency landing in the state's Mid-North this morning.
Police said the pilot made a call to Air Traffic control about 9.25am telling them his Jabiru plane was experiencing engine problems.

"The pilot called them on his phone about 9.35am, saying he had landed his plane in a paddock approximately 3km north of Kapunda," he said.

"He suffered bruising, after the aircraft rolled on landing, damaging the radio. He was the only occupant."
