Narrative:
A Novoair ATR 72-500, flight VQ967, suffered an incident on landing at Saidpur Airport.
The Pilot Flying (PF) made a normal approach and touched down. Soon after the ground contact of the nose wheel, the aircraft started vibrating severely. The PF controlled the aircraft with brake and rudder. The aircraft was stopped on the runway and both the engines were switched off.
It appeared the nose landing gear had turned 90°.

On further inquiry, it was ascertained that the nose wheel torque link ‘PIN’ (Part No D64724) got separated from the link, which was eventfully found on the right shoulder of the runway, 1900 ft from runway threshold 34. The detached PIN allowed both arms of the torque linkage to move freely.
