Sorry guys have to disagree we never train for a nose wheel collapse these days.

These guys had to sort this one out for themselves which deserves much praise indeed. I don't know any QRH which gives you a check list procedure for landing with the nose wheel stuck in the up position.

This Captain used all of his knollwege and combined it with a huge serving of common sence and therefore got a succesful outcome.

By what I'm reading here he also briefed his pax and crew very well, which given the nature of his situation he again preformed admirably.

When Mr Murphy decides to through a lump of brown stuff into the fan he rarely uses a text book procedure and crews have to use all their combined brain power to solve the situation which these guys did extremely well so please don't be little this by saying we train for this type of thing.

WELL DONE Captain QUANTRILL AND CREW!!
