UK agency blames crew braking under tow in Learjet 45 nose gear collapse

摘要

Inadvertent crew braking during taxi push-back likely led to the nose landing gear (NLG) collapsing on a 2000 Bombardier Learjet 45 (registration C-GMCP) on May 4, 2019, at Scotland's Edinburgh Airport, according to a UK AAIB final report released on January 9. There were no reported injuries to the two passengers or two crewmembers. At the time of the mishap, the captain had 2,669 hours in type and 12,920 hours total time. The aircraft appears to have been operated by Skyservice Business Aviation.
