A Delta Air Lines Boeing 717 landed without its nose landing gear extended, according to a new NTSB report released today. The incident occurred on June 28, 2023. The flight crew attempted two go-arounds before making an emergency landing with 104 people onboard. The NTSB determined a fatigue crack in the upper lock link caused the nose gear failure. The report cited the failure of an overhaul facility to comply with a service bulletin as a contributing factor. The aircraft, a Boeing 717-200, was originally built in 1995 and is part of Delta's fleet.
