9/5/18 WEST CHICAGO – Airplane Nose Gear Failure Emergency Landing at DuPage Airport – Video by Dave Weaver
DETAILS: At 11 a.m. the West Chicago Fire District responded to an emergency standby for a Cessna 340 twin-engine aircraft with a nose gear failure. The pilot and one passenger flew around for approximately 1 1/2 hours to burn off fuel before landing the aircraft at 12:20 p.m. The pilot chose to land on the older runway, Runway 20L, instead of the newer runway, 20R. Neither of the aircraft’s occupants appeared to be injured. Heavy machinery was used to tow the aircraft to a hanger.
