Flames shot off the front landing gear

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- A JetBlue airliner with its front landing
gear stuck sideways safely landed Wednesday, balancing on its back wheels
as it slowed on the runway at Los Angeles International Airport.
Flames shot off the front landing gear as the plane ground to a halt with
firefighters at the ready.
The aircraft with landing gear problems had circled the Los Angeles area for
more than two hours as the pilots dumped fuel over the ocean and officials
tried to determine how to make an emergency landing.
The pilots discovered the plane's front wheels were turned sideways and
stuck as they tried to retract the gear shortly after takeoff.
The back landing gear was also down as the plane circled, but it appeared
to be in the correct position. Officials planned to try to land the aircraft,
relying on the back wheels, at Los Angeles International Airport, which has
longer runways than surrounding airports and more emergency equipment.
JetBlue Flight 292 left Burbank's Bob Hope Airport at 3:17 p.m. with 139
passengers headed for New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport,
said airline spokesman Bryan Baldwin.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Donn Walker said the Airbus A320
was dumping fuel over the Pacific to lighten the plane for an emergency
landing.
"After leaving Burbank, pilots reported a landing gear indication light on,
meaning there may be a problem or issue with the landing gear," Baldwin
said. He said the crew decided to head for a nearby airport to attempt to
land.
The plane first circled the Long Beach Airport, about 30 miles south of
Burbank, then was cleared to land at Los Angeles, said LAX spokeswoman
Nancy Castles.
JetBlue is based in Forest Hills, New York.
