Watch: Indian Air Force Pilot Lands An-32 Aircraft On One Wheel After Landing Gear Malfunction

In a stunning display of skill and nerves Indian Air Force (IAF) Flight Lieutenant Gunadnya Kharche successfully landed an An-52 transport aircraft on a single landing wheel at the Sulur Air Force Base in Tamil Nadu after its left main wheel jammed.

The incident happened on 6 February 2012 but the video was only made public yesterday (10 October). It has been shared by the defence website Livefist.

In the video a person can be heard saying that the doors of the left main wheel are only partially open and the wheels are a unable to deploy.

Subsequently one can see the aircraft carrying out a slow approach and touching down on the runway on just the right wheel. The Flight Lieutenant successfully managed to bring the aircraft to a stop even as it embanked on the left due to the missing wheel.

Flight Lieutenant Kharche was awarded a Shaurya Chakra in August 2012 for this stunning landing.
