According to the portal, larger aircraft mostly have multiple wheels attached to each landing gear. For example, the Boeing B777 has two wheels on the nose landing gear and six wheels on each main landing gear. Having multiple wheels per landing gear allows some breathing room for the pilot if one wheel is lost. According to Irene Mutisya, director of air safety at Silverstone, the airline conducted the manufacturer of the bearing who confirmed recording similar incidences globally. ''Although the regulator gave the fleet a clean bill of health after a week of investigations, we believe that the action was quite unfair and injured our steady reputation in the market,'' Silverstone Air management told the Star.
