A Republic Airlines Embraer ERJ-175 on behalf of American Airlines, registration N102HQ performing flight YX-4518/AA-4518 from Toronto,ON (Canada) to Philadelphia,PA (USA) with 76 people on board, was on approach to Philadelphia when the crew reported a nose gear steering fault and advised they would need to stop on the runway. The aircraft landed safely on runway 09R, the crew attempted to vacate the runway using asymmetric braking but advised they definitely needed a tow, controlling the aircraft via asymmetric brakes did not work. Tower advised another emergency landing would happen in 10 minutes, it would make things a lot easier if they were able to vacate the runway, the crew promised to do their best but had to give in stating that making 90 degrees turns was not possible. The second emergency landing, see Incident: Piedmont E145 at Philadelphia on Apr 29th 2016, smoke in cabin, thus was reassigned to runway 09L.

The airport needed to be shut down for 45 minutes after the second emergency landing.
