BAE 146, EI-CPJ, 7 OCTOBER 2005 CONTENTS * BAe 146, EI-CPJ * Summary * Download report BAE 146, EI-CPJ SUMMARY: During the landing roll, after the nose wheel made contact with the runway,

the nose wheel steering system was found to be ineffective and the nose landing gear began a violent shimmy, which continued until the aircraft came to rest. Initial examination revealed

that the anti-torque links central pivot bolt was missing, although it was not determined whether this had been a consequence of, or had precipitated, the shimmy. Later examination revealed

that the nose wheel steering/friction damper breakout torque was some 34?40% of the specified value and the oleo inflation pressure some 28% above its specified value. DOWNLOAD REPORT: BAe
