The UK AAIB has notified the NTSB of an accident involving a Bombardier DHC-8-402, which occurred on October 11, 2017. The crew diverted to Belfast International Airport and landed with the nose landing gear retracted. The NTSB has appointed a U.S. Accredited Representative to assist the AAIB investigation under the provisions of ICAO Annex 13 as the State of Manufacture of some landing gear system components.
