## Factual narrative

On January 14, 2018, about 1413 universal time (UTC), a United Kingdom registered Sikorsky S-92A, G-CHHF, experienced a nose landing gear (NLG) anomaly during landing at Scatsta Airport, Shetland, United Kingdom. The NLG did not extend during the approach to landing. A ground engineer was able, with the helicopter in a hover, to lower the NLG, which was askew in the NLG well. The pilot, copilot, and nineteen passengers were not injured. The investigation is under the jurisdiction of the government of the United Kingdom.
