| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The aircraft was on a scheduled passenger flight from Luton to Belfast City Airport. During the approach checks, the brakes were applied which caused the 'Brake Low Pressure' warning to illuminate. The DC hydraulic pump was switched on to restore accumulator pressure and when the warning had cancelled, the foot brakes were again checked followed by a check of the parking brake. However, the crew failed to notice that the parking brake had been left in the ON position and the aircraft landed with the parking brake applied. All four tyres on the main landing gear burst and the aircraft came to a halt on the runway. As there was no fire, the Commander considered that an emergency evacuation was not warranted and the passengers were disembarked using the
aircraft stairs.
