United Airlines Flight 2127, a Boeing 757-224 operating from Los Angeles to New York/Newark on September 18, 2026, faced a little tense moment during its approach to Newark.
As the crew prepared to land, the cockpit indications showed a landing-gear disagreement. The pilots immediately went around, climbing to 5,000 feet while they worked through the appropriate checklist.
Then came an important update from the tower.
ATC advised the crew that all three landing gear appeared to be down — providing the pilots with crucial visual confirmation that the gear was physically deployed despite the cockpit indication.
The crew completed their checklist and prepared for another approach. They declared an emergency and reported 13,800 pounds of fuel with 182 people on board.
After being vectored back toward Newark, the crew requested the ILS approach to Runway 4 Left and continued preparing for the landing.
What initially appeared to be a potentially serious landing-gear problem turned into a successful second approach, with the crew using ATC’s visual confirmation to help assess the situation.
The real ATC audio captures the moment United 2127 reports the gear disagreement, the go-around, emergency declaration and the tower’s critical confirmation that all three landing gears appeared down. The link for same can be found in comments.
