Failures of different aircraft components are revealed and examined generally by use of non-destructive examination methods. In further explanation and interpretation of failures fractographic and metallographic methods are indispensable. The paper deals with a crack on aircraft wheel rim. The wheel was made from 2014-T6 aluminium alloy. The crack was revealed during regular control by the maintenance unit for non-destructive examination of the Slovenian air carrier Adria Airways. The crack on the rim investigated was a typical fatigue crack. It was branched, with a size lower than the critical size for fast fracture.
