Air Canada 978 Landing Gear Emergency at MYNN 6-18-09
« on: June 19, 2009, 02:30:59 PM »
An Air Canada Airbus with 137 persons on board declared an emergency landing at MYNN yesterday (6-18-09). The Air Canada's nose landing gear failed to deploy, resulting in the plane having to complete a low fly by the tower, and being put into a holding pattern. All ended well, the gear did deploy and the plane was able to successfully taxi clear of runway 14.

The air traffic controllers as well as the pilots handled the situation with great profession. Emergency vehicles were on the scene to assist if needed.

ATC Audio can be found here:
http://www.liveatc.net/recordings.php

The recording is named: Air Canada 978 Landing Gear Emergency at MYNN 6-18-09   

(The audio only includes the transmissions that involve the incident, all blank noise and unnecessary transmissions are removed)

*The audio is of the plane upon first check in with approach control, and final approach. (It seems as if my old equipment left out the part where they alert the ATC of the situation, also the parts where they are put into a holding pattern and do the fly by. Sorry for any Inconveniences.)

Is it just me or was she getting a little short with him? Handled very well though.
