Draft:Ryanair Flight 5542



Ryanair Flight 5542 was a regularly scheduled flight from Liverpool John Lennon Airport to Dublin Airport.

But while landing at Dublin airport the airplane's nose wheel blew, and sparks were visible. When the plane came to a stop on runway 28, all passengers evacuated and after 40 minutes airport buses came to serve as a taxi to the airport terminal. The airplane was repaired and began service again on 29th April 2023, 20 days after the accident.

Aircraft
The airplane was a Boeing 737-8AS that was produced in Renton and delivered to Ryanair on 29th March 2005. The airplane was registered EI-DHH right as Ryanair got it. The airplane was converted to a Boeing 737-8AS(WL) when the winglets were added on December 2006.( '(WL)' stands for 'Winglets'.) The airplane has two CFMI CFM56-7B26 engines.

Accident
Upon touchdown at Dublin Airport, the tire of the aircraft failed, causing concern among passengers and airport personnel. However, thanks to the well-trained crew and the robust safety procedures in place, the situation was swiftly brought under control.

Emergency services were deployed to the scene as a precautionary measure, though the aircraft came to a safe stop on the runway. Passengers were evacuated from the aircraft using standard procedures, guided by the experienced flight attendants.

Investigation
The investigation was performed by the AAIU. The cause of the blow was either undetermined, or not published.
