United Express flight 4919, operated by CommutAir using a DHC-8-200, made a nosegear-up landing at Washington-Dulles International Airport, USA.
The aircraft operated on a domestic flight from Albany, New York. On final approach to Dulles runway 01R the crew executed a go around, reporting a gear problem. The aircraft climbed to 3000 feet and entered a holding pattern to the south of the airport for about 35 minutes. The crew then performed a low pass over runway 01C to have the gear checked from the ground. The nose landing gear appeared to be retracted with the gear doors open.
The flight finally landed at 21:34 on runway 01R with the nose gear retracted.
PROBABLE CAUSE: "Incorrect installation of the frangible towing fuse that prevented the nose landing gear from extending."
