Airbus A320 Lands With Landing Gear Pointing The Wrong Way

Airbus A320-200 (CC-BAS), which operated flight LA4292 on Medellín- Cartagena route, had a problem with one of its nose gear wheels during takeoff. As a result, the plane immediately returned to the Medellin, where it landed at 3:12 PM local time. The commander declared an emergency, after which he received priority for landing and ground support from the firefighters. All passengers and crew members are in good health. Yesterday afternoon, an Airbus A320-200 operating a LATAM Colombia flight LA4292 from Medellín to Cartagena had to return to the departure airport due to a landing gear issue. This resulted in it touching down with the front wheel rotated 90 degrees to the side, prompting a shower of sparks to emerge as it slowed on the runway. The aircraft operating the flight was an Airbus A320-200 which bears the registration CC-BAS. This twinjet is 10 years old, having joined LATAM in November 2011. It can seat up to 175 passengers in an all-economy layout and is one of 12 A320s flown by LATAM Colombia.
