Description
Passengers are relieved after a mechanical issue led to tense moments on a Delta Air Lines flight to Charlotte Wednesday morning.
Delta Flight 1092 departed Atlanta just before 7:30 a.m. As the plane approached Charlotte, the pilot alerted air traffic control that they were experiencing a landing gear issue. After circling the airport, the pilot was able to safely land the plane without the nose gear.
Air traffic communication obtained by WCNC Charlotte shows the pilot telling the tower that they had an unsafe nosewheel with "104 souls on board." Delta confirmed the plane had 96 passengers, two pilots and three flight attendants. The pilot also said the plane had 50 minutes of fuel.
