Damaged wheel on Ryanair jet burst into flames after landing at Manchester Airport
17.03.2023 - 08:07 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
A damaged wheel on a Ryanair jet burst into flames after landing at Manchester Airport, air accident investigators have said. The fire broke out when the Boeing 737-8AS was taxiing into Terminal Three with 167 passengers onboard.
No-one was injured and the plane wasn't evacuated but the Air Accident Investigations Branch has described it as a 'serious incident'. A report says that after landing, crew assumed the plane had a flat tyre, as it required a higher thrust than normal to maintain the usual taxi speed.
But as the aircraft approached the stand the crew heard a radio transmission requesting the fire service attend an aircraft with 'brakes on fire'. "Realising that the call was about [their plane] the crew immediately completed the parking procedure and shut down the engines," the report states.

"A 'standby' call was made to the cabin crew and the situation was monitored. The fire service arrived and extinguished the fire, which had broken out around the left main landing gear wheels. As the fire was quickly extinguished, the flight crew considered that an emergency evacuation was unnecessary and, therefore, the passengers disembarked normally."
The investigation found the fire was caused by a 'fatigue crack' in the wheel. That caused brake fluid to leak which then burst into flames when it came into contact with heat caused by the 'misaligned' wheel.
A 'previous occurrence of [a] similar hub failure' found within the airline's fleet during an incident in Spain is being investigated by Spanish authorities, the report says. No further information about this second incident was given.
