THE Civil Aviation Authority has clarified a report headlined “CAA aircraft makes belly landing” published in Dawn on July 27. The report said an aircraft of the CAA had to make a belly landing at an airbase in Sharjah “after its left landing gear failed to deploy”.
A CAA press release said the aircraft did not make a belly landing. Instead, it made a “technical landing due to unsafe gear indications”.
“The decision of advising the aircraft to land at the airbase is well within the purview of the Sharjah aviation authorities,” the CAA added.
