B727 undershoot accident at Pohnpei, Micronesia in 2008
In 2008 a Boeing 727 overran the runway and into the sea at Pohnpei, Micronesia. A question was recently placed on the North American Forum seeking the NTSB report on this accident.
One reply said this:
2008 was Asia Pacific Airlines N319NE... AntiSkid sensor malfunction caused system to continuously release brakes on landing. Aircraft overran runway and came to rest with nose wheel in water. Returned to service 6 months later.
Is this type of defect feasible in 737 Classics? If so, it may be the basis for a simulator exercise. Has any reader heard of similar incidents involving anti-skid sensor malfunction?
