What should aircraft do in order to reduce the possibility of a blown tire during landing?

To reduce the possibility of a blown tire during landing, it is essential for aircraft to adopt certain procedures that minimize the risk of tire damage upon landing.

Exiting after the off-duty runway and after the hub serves to alleviate stress on the tires during landing rollout. By landing and continuing to roll on the main body of the runway, pilots allow the aircraft to decelerate efficiently without applying excessive braking forces that could increase the wear and risk of tire failure.

In addition, not applying brakes above 60 KIAS is critical because reducing speed too abruptly at high speeds can lead to increased tire wear and the possibility of a blowout. High-speed braking may generate significant heat and stress on the tires, which can compromise their integrity.

Together, these strategies encapsulated in the combination of exiting appropriately and managing braking speed work cohesively to enhance safety during landing operations and significantly lower the chances of tire blowout incidents.
