Narrative:
The Alkan Air Dornier 228-202, C-FUCN, was on a flight from Dawson City (CYDA), NT to Whitehorse (CYXY), NT. During the approach, when the landing gear was extended, the nose landing gear failed to extend. A touch and go was performed on the main landing gear but the nose landing gear still failed to extend. While in the go around, an emergency was declared and the aircraft did a circuit to prepare for an emergency landing with the nose gear retracted. The aircraft landed successfully with ARFF attending. There were no injuries and only minor damage to the aircraft. The aircraft was removed from the runway within 45 minutes.
