Ryanair 737 MAX 8-200 incident: premature braking with anti-skid inoperative led to main-gear wheel lock-up at Bergamo

Italian investigators found the wheel lock-up at touchdown was caused by premature braking during landing when the airplane’s anti-skid system was inoperative. The locked main-gear wheels triggered multiple tyre bursts on the Ryanair Boeing 737 MAX 8-200 at Bergamo following a delay tied to manual speedbrake deployment.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • The investigation ties the event to a specific systems condition—anti-skid inoperative—paired with pilot braking timing, which directly informs landing safety procedures and runway-risk mitigation.
  • Multiple tyre bursts following wheel lock-up at touchdown highlight the operational and maintenance consequences of degraded or unavailable anti-skid performance on narrowbody fleets.
  • For Boeing 737 MAX 8-200 operators, the findings reinforce the need for robust abnormal-procedure training and reporting practices when landing-configuration or deceleration systems are affected.
