Plane left Leeds Bradford runway due to failed bearing

The investigation found the bearing likely failed during the plane’s rollout at Leeds Bradford Airport.

The resultant juddering had been unexpected and the crew were uncertain as to its impact, the report said.

The AAIB investigation found there was “no mechanical impediment” to the use of additional rudder and braking to prevent the plane leaving the runway.

“However, the crew’s actions may have been influenced by the nosewheel juddering,” it added.

After the safe conclusion of the incident, the airport reopened the following day.

Travel firm TUI previously apologised to all passengers affected by the closure.
