“A Fly By wire Premier 1A aircraft VT-KBN operating flight on sector ‘HAL Airport Bangalore to BIAL’ was involved in Airturnback as the nose landing gear couldn’t be retracted after take-off,” Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) said in an official statement. A video of the incident shared by the DGCA shows aircraft safely landing on the runway.
‘Airturnback’ is a situation where an aircraft returns to land at the departure aerodrome without having initially planned to do so. The most common reason for ‘Airturnback’ is an emergency or abnormal situation during or shortly after take-off, the most common being engine failure.
