On 18 October 2011 at 15:20 local time, Iran Air Flight 742, a Boeing 727-200, registration EP-IRR, was approaching Tehran Imam Khomeini International Airport from Sheremetyevo International Airport with 94 passengers and 19 crew, when the crew did not receive a down and locked indication for the nose gear and aborted the approach.
Following unsuccessful troubleshooting the crew decided to divert to Mehrabad International Airport where a low approach confirmed the nose gear was not extended. The crew subsequently performed a landing without the nose gear on runway 29L at about 16:00 local time and came to a stand still on both main gear and the nose of the aircraft. The aircraft was evacuated, no injuries occurred. The pilot of this flight was captain Hooshang Shahbazi.
