Investigating agency: AAIB
Confidence Rating: Accident investigation report completed and information captured
Narrative:
The flight crew rejected the takeoff after a rapid swing to the right occurred soon after the aircraft reached 80 kt. No technical issues were identified which could have accounted for the swing, but flight recorder data showed it followed a large right rudder pedal input. The flight crew did not recall such an input being made.

Conclusion
The flight crew did not recall any significant rudder pedal input before the swing occurred, although the flight data showed this did occur. The simulation showed that the aircraft’s behaviour was consistent with the observed rudder pedal input and confirmed that there was no other directional control input. The recorded heading data showed no change prior to the rudder pedal input which would be expected had there been a nosewheel steering input. This aircraft has a long history of directional control problems on the ground; however, these reports all occurred during the
landing roll and not during takeoff. The steering valve was found to be leaking, but this was unlikely to have affected its operation.
