A Delta Air Lines (DL-DAL) flight made a successful landing in Charlotte (CLT) without its nose gear deployed on Wednesday. The 717-200 (N955AT) was operating flight DL1092 from Atlanta (ATL). There were no injuries to anyone on board. The NTSB says it is investigating the incident.
Delta flight 1092 departed Atlanta at 11:40 UTC (07:30 local time) and made an initial approach to Charlotte’s Charlotte Douglas International Airport at about 12:20 UTC. After extending the landing gear, the pilots received a “nose gear unsafe” warning and discontinued the approach. A second low approach was performed with the pilots receiving confirmation that the nose gear was not extended. At 12:51 UTC the aircraft touched down on Runway 36L then sliding on its nose for a short time. The aircraft came to rest on the runway and passengers were evacuated via the forward exit slides.
