Accident report. The AAIB published its report into the incident on 24 January 2007 when BMI Airbus A319-131, G-DBCI burst all its main gear tyres on landing at LBIA on arrival from Heathrow. In short, when the co-pilot, who was flying the approach requested full flap, the commander inadvertently selected the parking brake on, and did not notice the error. The co-pilot then repeated his request, but again the error was not picked up, nor the warning light noticed. There was a very strong crosswind at LBIA at the time and ATC was transmitting wind speed reports.
