Fair play to that pilot.

A plane successfully landed in Peru despite the fact that it had no front wheels.

The aircraft made a terrifying landing at Jorge Chávez International Airport in Lima, Peru, with the bottom of the plane scraping slowly along the ground.

The unnamed pilot was filmed making the emergency landing as sparks flew into the air.

According to the Washington Examiner, around 60 people were traveling on the plane when the incident took place. Nobody on board was injured.

Online flight data from LATAM Airlines indicates Flight 2369 from capital city Lima, Peru, to Santiago, Chile, landed in Pisco, located two hours south of the departing city.

Take a look at the incident below.
