Interesting video of Cessna 182 landing without nose gear

Well done, looks like he/she spared the engine.

Hi Chris

Thanks for the video. I think that an engine strip-down will be on the cards though as the prop still seemed to be turning when it hit -wonder why the engine wasn't shut off just before touching down on a slightly faster than normal approach? Would have saved a lot of engine work and reduced the fire risk.

Best regards

I spent 8 years doing maintence (flightline and Phase) on USAF O-2As and a year working for Penn Air in the AK.

I think the guy is in for an engine and a prop change.

Looked to me that right at the end the prop hit the runway.

I'm sure an AI is going to insist.

We had a bird strike in the prop and it required an
engine check and prop had to be sent in for crack
check!!
