Blown tire

Why did the tire blow? A heavy braking should not cause a tire to blow, at least not on a light aircraft. May be a flat spot on the tire (we call such spots escalopes in France, there are not unusual …) if you locked the wheel, but why would it blow? Overheating?

@Piotr_Szut: I assume heavy breaking. You can still see a long tire mark on the RWY…

@europaxs Sure! I would love to have a chat. You can usually find me at the Check-in having a Schnitzel between lessons.
