AAIB investigation to Piper PA-28-236, G-CSBD
Severe nosewheel shimmy on roll out, Old Buckenham Airfield, Norfolk, 27 February 2022.
Summary:
On roll out, after landing, the pilot made a rudder input to counter a crosswind gust. As he did so there was an immediate onset of a violent nosewheel shimmy which dissipated as the aircraft slowed to 20 kt. The shimmy appeared to have been caused by a foreign object becoming trapped between the nosewheel tyre and the wheel spat.
