A Fedex Federal Express Boeing 767-300 freighter, registration N110FE performing flight FX-6238 from Paris Charles de Gaulle (France) to Istanbul (Turkey), was on final approach to Istanbul's runway 16R when the crew initiated a go around from about 1800 feet MSL due to an unsafe indication for the nose gear. The aircraft performed a low approach to runway 16R about 25 minutes later, positioned for another approach to runway 16R and landed without nose gear on runway 16R at about 08:17L (05:17Z) about 40 minutes after the first go around. There were no injuries.

A Boeing has about the same chance of a soft landing as the economy ;)))

A FedEx 767 had to return to CDG shortly after t/o yesterday. No reports of the cause at the moment, but it was squawking 7700.

Now over to our reporter in Senegal, Anna Nutherwun.



Looks like an aborted takeoff and overrun. No deaths, 11 injuries, 4 serious including one pilot.
