| You’re on final approach, stable approach and ready to be home after your flight. You touch down softly on the mains and as you lower the nose wheel you experience a distinct shuttering. Or maybe after your touchdown you notice your plane starts skidding in the opposite direction. What could’ve happened? Seems like you blew a tire, now what?
San Carlos Flight Center invites Chief Pilot and AGI Herb Patten, and seasoned pilot Alessandro Franco to discuss options after landing with a blown tire. In this seminar, they will discuss how their own experiences of landing with a blown tire can teach others about how to handle the unexpected. There are many options a pilot can choose: try and exit the runway and make it back to parking, clear the runway, or stop on the runway and request assistance. What is the best option? If you want to understand how to handle this situation without becoming deflated, join us for this seminar.
