Watch this AV-8B Harrier land without a nosegear

... with this one weird trick (just kidding! (sort-of)) Video of an AV-8B harrier landing on the amphibious assault ship USS Batan with a misbehaving nose gear. Oh, the luxuries of VTOL. (www.youtube.com) Daha Fazlası...

Amazing, yes, but I have to ask: The stool was created specifically for this purpose? Does that mean faulty nose gear is common on these things?

This stools was designed to be used when landing gear requires maintenance.

It may be part of the "hope for the best, plan for the worst" mindset.
While they refer to it as a stool, methinks 'chin rest' a better moniker. 8-)

My son served with VMA-231 in Cherry Point NC from 2010-2012 servicing the Harrier "jump jet" and they lovingly called them the "Scarier" jets due to their constant mechanical failures.

We had them in Belize - used them to scare the Guatemalan troops massing on the border.

That was impressive and to think they had that noise stool for a backup plan. Nice job Capt.

Precise landing maneuver but what would have happened it there was no stool, nothing, the nose is stiff enough, ain´t it, so what is the big deal.

Harrier loses front landing gear, lands vertically on padded stool

What happens when your front landing gear fails and you are flying a AV-8B Harrier that can land vertically? You ask your ship crew to place a comfy padded stool to softly put your airplane's nose down.

Harrier Has Stuck Nose Gear, Lands On A Stool, Pilot Is Awesome

They say Harrier pilots are some of the best in the world as the aircraft is notoriously hard to handle in hover. This video is further proof that this statement is true. Talk about nailing it!
