Accident: United Airlines B737max Skidded Off Runway at high speed, Damaging Left Main Landing Gear – USA – March 2024
This was a domestic passenger flight between Memphis and Houston.
Upon landing in Houston, the captain believed the runway was dry, while the first officer (and official weather reports) indicated it was wet. Because of this, the captain mistakenly recalled the safety rating as “good” instead of “slippery.”
Air traffic controllers asked the crew to “maintain high speed” to clear the runway for other aircraft, creating a sense of urgency for a rapid runway exit.
Due to his misjudgment that the runway was dry, the captain used the lowest automatic braking setting and then switched to manual braking too late.
The aircraft attempted to exit the runway at a speed of 37 knots. Due to the slippery conditions and high speed, the aircraft skidded off the runway, causing the left main landing gear to collapse.
The crew did not conduct a formal safety briefing regarding the slippery runway conditions, a briefing that would have mandated the use of more aggressive braking.
