Ryanair flight FR5647, a Boeing 737-800, landed on runway 32R of Barajas Airport, and took exit K5 from the runway.
Once on the taxiway, the crew noticed that the aircraft was dragging forward and after a stop in the M25 area it was unable to resume its flight, even after applying 40% power.
The aircraft was stopped at M25, and after an inspection by the maintenance personnel damage was found in the wheel and brake of the left leg of the main landing gear. The passengers were disembarked and the train was repaired on the taxiway.
There were no injuries.
Causes / Contributing factors
The investigation has concluded that the incident was caused by a fracture in the hub of the inner wheel half of the left wheel on the aircraft’s left main landing gear due to the propagation of a fatigue crack originating from a corrosion pit.
The fact that the instructions for the major overhaul of the wheel contained in CMM revision 10 (in force on the day of the incident) were not enough to ensure the integrity of the wheel during its service life is thought to have been a contributing factor.
