A pre-departure inspection on a Boeing 737–400 had noted that the tyres appeared satisfactory and the main-wheels were ‘cool’ following two positioning flights. Almost an hour after arrival, the aircraft was taxied off the stand in a right turn, through 210°, without the use of asymmetric thrust or wheelbrakes. The crew prepared the aircraft for a flaps 5/ful thrust/bleeds-on take-off, at 57.1 tonnes AUW. The fuel load was 12 tonnes and the speeds for take-off were V1 138 kt and VR 144 kt.
