The nose gear on the LATAM Airlines A320 was locked 90 degrees off-centre on March 29th, when it made an emergency landing at the Jose Maria Cordova International Airport.

The crew noticed an issue with the nose landing gear while the plane was climbing out of the runway.

The crew decided to return after stopping the climb at 13,000 feet due to a steering fault. In the video, sparks and smoke can be seen coming from the nose gear.

The fault was found in one of the gear tires after the plane took off. The crew decided to fly over the airport area Rionegro to consume part of the fuel and land safely. The A320 entered a hold and returned to the runway about 45 minutes after departure.

“The landing was carried out in a controlled manner in safe conditions for aircraft occupants and ground personnel. The emergency was attended by the aeronautical fire brigade and the personnel of the Services of Emergency and Maintenance.”
