Delta Airlines B717 Makes An Emergency Landing Without Nosegear at Charlotte Airport [XP12]
31A Delta Air Lines flight landed with its “nose landing gear up” at Charlotte Douglas International Airport in North Carolina on Wednesday morning, the Federal Aviation Administration says.
No injuries were reported from the incident, but the runway was closed while crews with the airport worked on removing the plane from the runway, CLT Airport shared in a post on Facebook.
The flight, operated on a Boeing 717, departed from Atlanta around 7:25 a.m., according to a Delta statement. There were 96 customers, two pilots and three flight attendants on board.
“As it approached CLT, pilots received a ‘nose gear unsafe’ indication. The crew initiated a missed approach procedure to further investigate the indication,” Delta said in a post on its website.
The airline said that initial reports show that the crew flew by the air traffic control tower in Charlotte so that air traffic controllers could visually inspect the plane. That observation indicated the nose landing gear doors were open, but the nose gear itself had not come down.
The plane landed at 8:58 a.m. EDT in Charlotte with the nose gear up, Delta said.
The runway was closed for most of the day. Around 7 p.m. the airport announced on its website that the aircraft had been removed from Runway 18R/36L and the runway had been inspected.
“The runway is now open. Please continue to check with your airline on updated flight status,” the airport said.
