Aerodynamic & Operational Physics
A blown main gear tyre creates extreme asymmetrical drag, pulling aircraft toward the blown side.
If rotation speed V_R is achieved, continue climbout. Do NOT retract gear immediately if rubber debris could damage hydraulics.
Landing with blown tyre: Land on runway side of GOOD tyre, hold flat tyre off ground as long as possible with aileron/rudder, use gentle aerodynamic braking.
CASA & FAA Exam Gotcha Alert
Exam Trap: Never apply heavy differential braking on the good tyre at high speed as it can cause ground loop or loss of directional control.
Frequently Asked Questions & Exam Explanations
How should you land with a blown main landing gear tyre?
Touch down on the good tyre first, hold weight off the flat tyre as long as possible using elevator and aileron, and maintain directional control with rudder.
