CHARLOTTE, N.C. — (CHARLOTTE, N.C.) -- A Delta plane landed safely at Charlotte Douglas International Airport Wednesday morning without its front landing gear, according to the airline.
Passenger Chris Skotarczak told ABC News there was no chaos on board during the landing, and he praised the crew for their work.
Delta said its pilots received a"nose gear unsafe" indication and flew by the Charlotte airport's air traffic control tower to allow air traffic control an opportunity to"visually inspect the plane." That showed the nose landing gear doors were open, but the nose gear itself remained in the up position, Delta said.
The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed the flight landed with its nose gear up and said it will investigate.
