when the pilot extends the landing gears. green lights indicate the main landing gears are down. but the nose gear indicator remains dark. >> the nose gear showed that it wasn't either down or up. it didn't say what position it was actually in. so they broke the approach and advised air traffic control that they needed time to sort through a technical problem. >> unaware of what's going on in the cockpit, flight attendant beverly raposa feels the plane turn away from the airport. >> i wasn't concerned because things like that happened and if there was a problem, we had a phone by each of the flight attendant seats. if there was a major problem, the pilot would have called us. >> to troubleshoot the problem, the l-1011 climbs to 2,000 feet and heads west toward the everglades. the captain puts the plane on autopilot. >> everybody wants to find the solution. that's just nature. it's human. we want to accomplish the mission. >> the crew suspects nothing more than a faulty lightbulb. the co-pilot starts to replace it but he can't get the new bulb to go in.
