Eagle Accident @ BNA
 

Couldn't find any news articles (Probably a good thing) but EGF 600 DCA-BNA landed today and blew all four main tires on RWY 2C currently still on the runway waiting for new tires before it can be towed to mx hanger. BNA is down to one RWY, 2L-20R. No news on what caused the tires to blow but first thoughts are that the brakes locked up on landing. Crew didn't want to comment to us rampers until an investigation was done. No injuries and the pax were evacuated through overwing emergancy exits. More info to come as I get it.

didnt express do this a few years back as well?

Confirmed - In flight checks of the Parking Brake are discouraged. You know how forgetful pilots are.

"Hmm, what does this do?" *PULL* :rolleyes:

Speculation is not encouraged. And shame on you for thinking someone was just pulling a lever for fun.

Usually the hydraulic fluid gets transferred from one system to the other due to the improper setting of the parking brake over a long period of time. After takeoff, the gear uses quite a bit of fluid causing one hydraulic system to get into the yellow, while the other is completely full. the 135, 140, and 145's can transfer hydraulic fluid by pushing the toe brakes and setting the parking brake and releasing if you want to do this move about 100 times to transfer the fluid back where it came from and even the fluid quantities between both systems. Though its not a good practice, Ive seen it done many times in flight, and unfortunately crews have locked up the brakes or forgot to release the parking brake before landing.

Im not saying this is what happened, but I wanted to speak up since some idiot who posted before this hinted that a crew member might have been playing with levers for no reason.

Have a nice day.

Good call by the crew.

oh jeez I've been doing flight a lot lately. Glad it wasn't me. Fortunately nobody was hurt. Wonder if that was why I never got a plane to JFK last night and it cx'd.

Why would this be an 'accident'? It is an incident sure, but not an accident.

Ask the ramper that started the thread.Then he wonders why the crew didn't want to comment.:rolleyes:

Some people take themselves too seriously... no speculation, the "confirmed" was that XJT had more than one land with the brake on.

At least they didn't attempt to power through the rollout. I saw one in El Paso do that when they got the nose stuck in the mud. They didn't need Air Stairs to unload the passengers.
