A Challenger CL601 medical evac aircraft was trying to land at a Quebec airport on Sunday when its nosewheel failed to deploy. An amateur videographer caught the first landing attempt and the subsequent landing on tape, and I thought it was interesting enough to share here.
The pilot did everything right, and eventually landed safely after circling around for 90 minutes to burn fuel and make a second attempt, with or without the nose gear operational. None of the five people on board, including a patient, were injured. Yay!
