A 69-year-old pilot has had a rough landing, ending up on the wrong runway at Melbourne's Moorabbin Airport.

The single engine plane came down hard during landing about 2.15pm (AEDT) on Tuesday, a police spokeswoman said.

It bunny-hopped on the runway, one of its wings touched the ground and it veered onto a neighbouring runway, she said.
