## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) AT APPROXIMATELY 1350 UTC, AMERICAN EAGLE FLIGHT #3620 LANDED RUNWAY 35R. DURING ROLLOUT THE LOCAL CONTROLLER OBSERVED SMOKE COMING FROM THE MAIN GEAR AND INFORMED THE PILOT. THE PILOT REQUESTED EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE. THE LOCAL CONTROLLER INFORMED THE OPERATIONAL SUPERVISOR ON DUTY, WHO THEN CALLED AN ALERT II. THE PILOT EXITED THE RUNWAY AND AT TAXIWAY QUEBEC 4, STOPED THE AIRCRAFT, CALLED FOR THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT TO EVACUATE THE AIRCRAFT, AND CONDUCTED AN EMERGENCY EVACUATION OF THE AIRCRAFT. THE MAIN CABIN DOOR (L1) WAS USED. THIS AIRCRAFT IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH SLIDES. THE FO EXITED THE AIRCRAFT & HELPED THE PASSENGERS OUT, THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT COMMANDED THE EVACUATION FROM INSIDE, THEN EXITED THE AIRCRAFT. THE PASSENGERS WERE ASSISTED AND GATHERED AWAY FROM AIRCRAFT BY FIRE PERSONNEL. FIRE PERSONNEL CHECKED THE AIRCRAFT AFTER THE EVACUATION. THE PASSENGERS WERE BUSED TO THE TERMINAL. THE SMOKE WAS SUSPECTED TO BE CAUSED BY A HYDRAULIC LEAK ON THE BRAKES. HOWEVER, UPON INSPECTION BY COMPANY MAINTENANCE IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THER WAS AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF DE-ICE FLUID ON THE MAIN LANDING GEAR ASSEMBLY. MX CLEANED OFF THE MAIN LANDING GEAR ASSEMBLY, AND NO FURTHER DAMAGE WASNOTED.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
