Pilot Lands Plane With Jammed Gear | Greenville News

A NetJets Cessna Citation pilot pulled off a textbook landing at Akron-Canton Airport after its front landing gear jammed mid-approach—alarms blaring, crews on standby. Circling the airport, he made the split-second call to land with only the rear wheels touching down, keeping the nose up for maximum control. Miraculously, both passengers walked away unharmed. This rare one-in-a-million failure—where just one gear piece was stuck—was handled flawlessly by a veteran aviator, earning praise for a landing that met aviation’s highest standard: you can walk away, and it’s still a great landing.
