HYANNIS, Mass. (AP) -- Authorities say a plane with six people onboard made an emergency landing at an airport off Cape Cod after a warning light indicated a problem.

The FAA says Cape Air Flight 311 took off from Boston on Saturday night and was headed for Martha's Vineyard. When the indicator light went on, the pilot decided to land at Barnstable Municipal Airport as a precaution.

FAA spokesman Jim Peters says the plane's nose gear collapsed as the twin-engine Cessna 402 landed on the runway.

None of the six aboard were injured.

FAA officials were headed to the airport Saturday night to investigate.
