However, reports by the Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau, NSIB, said the crew received a cockpit warning light indicating a nose-gear issue as they approached Murtala Muhammed International Airport. In response, the crew conducted a fly-past to allow air traffic control to visually inspect the nose gear’s status. Despite attempts to cycle the landing gear and execute an emergency checklist, the warning light persisted.
“At this point, the crew stated that severe vibration was accompanied by a loud noise from the nose-gear area,” the investigation reported. As the aircraft decelerated to 80 knots, the nose gear collapsed, causing the captain to lose directional control. The aircraft veered to the left, exiting the runway nearly 2,100 meters from the threshold.
