Two people were aboard the plane at the time, Pandolfi said.
According to FlightAware, the Cessna 152, registered to “Silver Express Co,” took off from Miami Executive Airport just after 3 p.m. Wednesday.
It was last seen on radar at 3:34 p.m.
Sky 10 flew over the scene just after 4 p.m., where the plane had been taken off the roadway and parked near the entrance of the L-67 canal lock, just west of the ValuJet Flight 592 memorial in west Miami-Dade.
In an email to Local 10 News, a spokesperson for the Federal Aviation Administration said the agency will investigate the landing.
It’s unclear what sort of emergency led the pilot to put the plane down.
