Allegiant Air Lands in Orlando Without Nose Gear

Yesterday an Allegiant Air plane with malfunctioning landing gear touched down safely at Orlando Sanford International Airport.  The plane from Portsmouth, N.H. landed without its nose landing gear. None of the 157 passengers on board were injured during the landing.

"The aircraft experienced a hydraulic problem with the front nose-gear.The nosegear was not coming down. they circled around for an hour and finally managed to land without it," Diane Crews, executive vice president of Orlando Sanford International Airport told CNN.

The pilots did an excellent job controlling the aircraft as it landed.  These conditions can be very difficult to control any aircraft.
