LOT undercarriage collapse closes Warsaw Chopin Airport
A LOT Polish Airlines Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 nose undercarriage failure led to the closure of Warsaw’s main airport the evening of Jan 10. The aircraft was inbound from Krakow with 59 passengers and 1 crew when the incident unfolded. On lowering the undercarriage as they approached Warsaw Chopin Airport, the pilots received an indication that the aircraft’s nose undercarriage leg might not be locked down. Uncertain whether there was a problem with the landing gear or they were receiving a false warning, they prepared for an emergency landing. On contact with the ground, the nose gear collapsed and the aircraft came to a halt on the main runway. A LOT spokesman said there were no injuries to crew or passengers who disembarked on the runway without the need for emergency chutes. <br/>
