A Myanmar pilot securely handled a traveler stream without its front wheels on Sunday, in the wake of landing gear on the Myanmar National Airlines plane neglected to convey, the carrier and an authority said.

It was the second avionics occurrence in Myanmar this week, after a Biman Bangladesh Airlines plane slipped off the runway amid solid breeze in Yangon on Wednesday, harming in any event 17 of those ready.

An authority commended the pilot for conveying the Embraer 190 air ship in to arrive at Mandalay airplane terminal on Sunday morning in spite of the specialized disappointment. Nobody was harmed.

“The pilot did a great job,” said Win Khant, permanent secretary of transportation and telecommunication ministry, adding the incident was being investigated.

Myanmar National Airlines, the state-run carrier, said in a statement the aircraft had departed from the city of Yangon and was approaching the airport serving the central city of Mandalay when the pilot was unable to extend the front landing gear.
 
The pilot, Captain Myat Moe Aung, flew past the airport twice so that air traffic controllers could check if the landing gear was down, the airline said.
 
“Then the captain followed emergency procedures and did the fuel burn out to reduce the landing weight,” it said.
 
Video of the landing shows the plane touching down on its rear wheels before lowering its nose. The aircraft travels some distance along the runway on its nose, kicking up smoke, before coming to a halt.
 
The crew then performed an emergency evacuation.
 
The airline did not say how many people were on board but Embraer said on its website the aircraft has a typical capacity of between 96 and 114 seats.
