3 aircraft survive incidents in Irish air

A FLIGHT instructor and a student pilot walked away uninjured after the nose wheel on their aircraft collapsed on landing at Cork Airport yesterday.

The two were on a training flight on board a Piper PA 34 twin-engined turbo-powered aircraft operated by the Atlantic Flight Centre.

The aircraft made circuits of the airfield, had landed safely at the airport’s shorter runway 07/25, and was turning off the runway when the incident occurred just before 3pm.
