- Date: June 7, 2013
- Aircraft: Embraer ERJ-145
- Location: Shanghai-Hongqiao, Shanghai, China
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Foreign object debris inside the nosewheel steering electrohydraulic servo valve blocked a hydraulic port and caused an uncommanded left nosewheel deflection during the landing roll. The valve had passed acceptance testing before the debris was found.
A China Eastern Embraer ERJ-145 landing from Huai'an ran off runway 18L at Shanghai Hongqiao in light rain. After touchdown the nosewheel deflected left, the nose gear collapsed on soft ground and the aircraft slid to a stop. All 49 occupants evacuated safely, but the jet was damaged beyond repair.
