A Royal Thai Navy maritime patrol plane Fokker F-27 Friendship 200 conducted an emergency landing at Narathiwat Airport, Thailand, after it struggled to deploy its landing gear.
The aircraft, registration number 1202, managed to land at Narathiwat Airport (NAW) but was unable to deploy the nosewheel. The captain agreed to proceed with a nosegear-up landing after following the appropriate checklist to no avail, keeping the plane on its main wheel for as long as possible.
The Thai Armed Forces commended the pilot’s skill and conscientiousness to “keep everybody safe and protect government properties.”
