Sgt. Duane Lepchuk, a police spokesman, says the plane came down shortly before 6 a.m. on a two-lane stretch of 36 St. N.E., about five kilometres south of the airport near the Trans-Canada Highway.
None of the four passengers and two crew members was hurt.
Lepchuk says there was minimal traffic on the street at the time and there are no reports of drivers having to swerve to miss the plane.
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada has been notified about the incident, Calgary police said in a news release Wednesday.
