Watch: Cape Air plane with ‘landing gear issue’ lands safely at Boston Logan
No one was injured in the incident.
A Cape Air flight landed safely at Boston Logan on Tuesday despite an issue with its landing gear that forced it to return to the airport after takeoff.
Massport said in a statement that there were two passengers and one crew member aboard the Cape Air Cessna 402 that took off from Boston Logan and then returned with a “landing gear issue.” Massport Fire Rescue responded to the scene, but no one was injured.
Television helicopters captured the moment that showed the small plane landing with what appeared to be just one wheel descended.
WBZ reports that the pilot on Flight 1833 to Bar Harbor was “alerted to a landing gear anomaly shortly after take-off” from Boston, returning to Logan for the rough landing just after 3:15 p.m. The airline told the station that the “appropriate checklist” was performed by the pilot before the landing.
