Carpatair SB20 at Timisoara on Feb 28th 2009, landed without nose gear
A Carpatair Saab 2000, registration YR-SBI performing flight V3-128 from Chisinau (Moldova) to Timisoara (Romania) with 47 passengers and 4 crew, aborted the approach to Timisoara after an unsafe gear indication for the nose gear. The airplane entered a holding for almost two hours as the crew attempted to lower the nose gear and burned off fuel. Emergency services foamed the runway in preparation for the partial gear up landing. The airplane subsequently landed without the nose gear and came to a safe stop. All occupants remained uninjured, the damage to the airplane is reported minor.
