A pilot managed to make a hard landing along a patch of grass off State Road 407 in Titusville Monday morning. Two passengers, the pilot and a student pilot, were aboard the aircraft, owned by L3 Airline Academy in Sanford, but were not injured. The aircraft was en route back to Sanford from Fort Pierce.
The emergency landing took place about 11:20 a.m. Monday, on the narrow strip of grass between State Road 407 and a murky, brown canal just west of Interstate 95.
