The Philippine Air Force (PAF) announced that a
"Non-Destructive Inspection" (NDI) Team has arrived at Legazpi Airport , Albay Wednesday afternoon to
inspect the Fokker F-27 "Friendship" transport aircraft which was
damaged after its nose gear collapsed while landing on May 11.
This was disclosed by PAF spokesperson Col. Enrico Canaya in
a message to the PNA.
"The NDI Team arrived Wednesday afternoon and is
currently assessing the damage and if whether the F-27 is still
repairable," he added.
The F-27 was damaged last Monday, around 10 a.m., after its
nose gear collapsed while landing.
The plane was carrying six crewmen, including its pilot.
This prevented normal flight operations from being carried
out in the said airfield.
Canaya said the crippled F-27 was towed clear at 3 p.m.,
resuming flight operations at Legazpi
Airport .
An investigation is now being conducted to determine the
exact cause of the mishap.
