Landing gear had to be manually lowered

Posted 1/28/13

NORTH PLATTE — A plane carrying 17 passengers from Denver to North Platte set down safely after some tense moments caused by trouble with the plane’s landing gear.

Great Lakes Flight 7252 couldn’t land on its first approach Sunday afternoon because its landing gear wouldn’t deploy.

The Beechcraft 1900 circled the airfield while the pilots manually lowered the gear.

The plane then landed about 3 p.m. without further incident as fire and medical crews waited.
