What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23)All (4) tires on right main landing gear truck blew during take-off and landing. Aircraft damages due to rubber debris are: 1)the #3 engine fan section inlet (2 each blades), 2)the right wing lower inboard flap, 3)the lower trapezoidal panel, 4)all four brakes, 5)the landing gear anti-skid wire harness, 6)all four wheels. Boeing engineers theorize the brakes appeared to be dragging during taxi for takeoff as indicated by the tire tracks on taxiway. After lift-off the #7 blew, after gear retraction the #3 fuse plugs melted and the tire deflated while in the gear well. Upon landing the #4 & 8 tire blew from the exetensive load and possible dragging brakes. One of the dual brake control valve(s) is suspect, valves shipped by Boeing for bench test. Both calves were overhauled in 1999, by curtiss wright services, certificate #TR2R197, (44973-2/12/99, installed 3/16/99), (313-1/28/99, installed 2/27/99), time in sevice 31.25 hours. The bench test was not accomplished prior to teardown. Awaiting teardown report.
