A PILOT and about five passengers escaped without injury when the nose wheel of the Titan aircraft they were travelling in collapsed upon landing at Launceston Airport this morning.Airlines of Tasmanian managing director Donald Wells said the plane landed about 8.30am after a chartered flight from Flinders Island and that passengers on board hardly felt the landing.
Mr Wells said the only damage to the plane was some paint off the nose, but that engineers would assess the plane today.
"It's the first incident we've had of this nature for 20 years,'' he said.
Not the first time CCN has had landed gear issues!
Needs 2 new donks and some panel work.
