IndiGo flight 6E 7117 operated by an ATR 72-600 from Tirupati to Hyderabad, India, suffered a tyre burst while landing on runway 09R at Hyderabad Airport. The 72 passengers and one infant and four crew members are safe.
Probable Cause of the Incident
“During flight, the crew had put the parking brakes to emergency position, while Pilot-in-Command explained and demonstrated its (parking brake) working to the First Officer. Both of them forgot to put the parking brakes back to “OFF” position. As the parking brakes continued to be at ‘EMER’ position during touchdown and landing roll, this resulted in consequential damages during touchdown and landing roll.”
