Three years ago, after a passenger plane landed at Fukuoka Airport, the front wheels broke and got stuck. We have released an investigation report that is presumed to be caused by the decline and dropout.

In March 2018, after Peach Aviation's Airbus A320 landed at Fukuoka Airport, there was a problem that the front wheels broke and got stuck on the runway, and although there were no injuries, flights to and from the airport were canceled one after another.



The front wheel was broken with it facing sideways at a right angle to the direction of travel.



According to an investigation report compiled by the Japan Transport Safety Board, a 12-centimeter-long pin that connects the parts that control the direction of the front wheels is dropped on the runway 850 meters before the place where it got stuck, and it was investigated in detail. As a result, the thread of the pin was damaged by corrosion.



From these facts, it is presumed that the reason why the aircraft got stuck was that the pin of the part that controls the direction of the front wheels fell off while the aircraft was traveling on the runway, and the front wheels broke in the direction almost right beside the direction of travel. It is supposed to be.



Corrosion on the thread of the pin was caused by repeated attachment and detachment of the pin during maintenance and inspection, and by mistaken attachment and reattachment during assembly, which damaged the plating and reduced the resistance to corrosion. It is believed that it was done.
