| Executive Summary: | P4ABU was established on the localiser for Runway 24, 12 NM from touchdown at 04:57 hours. The crew reported a technical problem and requested to remain on the approach frequency for radar guidance. The crew then reported the runway in sight and an electrical failure on board. The aircraft burst a starboard tyre on landing and the crew also subsequently reported brake damage. The aircraft taxied to the apron under its own power. The ATS at Shannon notified the Chief Inspector of Accidents. The nominated Inspector visited the aircraft the following day and interviewed the crew. 3.2 Causes Both left and right generators carried defects into this flight. When an ensuing fault occurred on the right generator during the approach, it tripped from the system. The left generator could not carry the electrical load and it too tripped from the system. |
