What happened
On 18 January 2018, the pilot of a Raytheon Hawker 850XP was conducting a check and training exercise from Bundaberg, Queensland (Qld) with three crew on board.
The aircraft arrived at Gladstone airport, Qld at about 1140 Eastern Standard Time (EST). Part of the exercise involved the practice of a one engine inoperative approach and landing in which the pilot inadvertently applied the right hand (RH) brakes causing both RH tyres to lock up and the anti-skid to cease functioning. The aircraft came to a stop and the pilot slowly taxied the aircraft clear of the runway. The anti-skid on this aeroplane does not have locked wheel protection.
The post-flight inspection revealed both RH main landing gear tyres deflated.
Safety action
As a result of this incident, the operator advises that the pilot was debriefed and has since completed simulator training in the Hawker recurrent simulator.
