Aircraft Accident/Incident Report
Denver, Colorado 80249
Wednesday, July 23, 2008 22:30 MDT
NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident
The first takeoff was rejected because the captain’s side window was not secured. Brake temperatures were allowed to cool below 300 degrees C. before the second takeoff was initiated. After the second takeoff, the gear was left extended to allow the brakes to cool. Retraction was normal. When the flaps were retracted, an F-LOCKED ECAM message illuminated. An emergency was declared and the airplane was configured for landing. Several ECAM messages illuminated, including L/G SYSTEM DISAGREE and L/G NOT DOWN. An uneventful landing was accomplished. Post-incident inspection disclosed the right inboard tire had failed. The tire failure was due to low pressure and the extra heat generated by the first rejected takeoff.
NTSB Probable Cause Narrative
Total failure of the right inboard tire. Contributing to this incident were the low pressure of the tire, and the high tire heat generated by the previous rejected takeoff.
