- Date: August 19, 2005
- Aircraft: Boeing 747-200
- Location: Agana-Antonio Borja Won Pat, Guam Island
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The flight crew did not verify that the gear annunciations matched the checklist, leading to a landing with the nose gear retracted. A nose gear door actuator lock key was also found installed backward.
A Boeing 747-200 operated by Northwest Airlines on flight NW74 from Tokyo landed at Guam with its nose gear retracted. During the approach the crew got a red gear light and warning horn but did not count the gear annunciators as the checklist requires, and they decided not to recycle the gear. A nose gear door actuator lock key was also found installed backward, though the NTSB found no fault in the indication system.
