Location: Tehran Meharabad
International Airport (Iran)
Phase: Landing
Nature: Scheduled passenger
Flight: Karachi - Tehran -
Moscow - Frankfurt - London
Flight number: PK-713
Remarks:
During approach to Tehran's Meharabad International
Airport, the pilot selected landing gear down. On selecting the nose gear down,
two main green lights came ON but door red warning and gear unsafe warning
lights did not got out. The Flight Engineer was asked to go down to compartment
lower 41 and make a visual check of the nose gear. He reported the nose gear was
up while the doors were open. The crew tried different methods but failed to
break the uplock and nose gear remained stuck in fully up position. At last the
Captain decided to land with nose gear up. The Boeing 720B circled over the
airport for full one hour and forty minutes to dump the fuel.
During
nose gear up
landing, the damage sustained by the aircraft was
comparatively small and was confined mainly to the nose gear doors, the radio
antenna and the area forward of the lower 41 door. A minor fire occurred on the
nose gear doors due to friction with the runway, but it was promptly
extinguished by the airport fire authorities and no further damage occurred. The
aircraft was repaired and returned to service.
