MILWAUKEE, Wis–The federal government is suing Air Wisconsin for failing to report a hard landing incident. The FAA claims in the federal suit that the Appleton-based airline has refused to comply with a subpoena to turn over flight event reports, crew names, and contact numbers.

The incident took place earlier this month, when an American Airlines flight operated by Air Wisconsin made an emergency landing in Milwaukee during a Chicago to Appleton flight. The pilot initially radioed in problems with the landing gear and requested to land at Mitchell Airport.
The plane landed safely, but did sustain damage. The F-A-A believes the incident was due to pilot error.
