## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) ON AUGUST 26, 2001, A DELTA AIRLINES B737-300, FLIGHT NUMBER 1802, DEPARTED SLC FOR MCI, WHEN, ON TAKEOFF ROLL, THE CREW REPORTED HEARING A NOISE AND RECORDED THAT THEY SUSPECTED A BLOWN TIRE/TREAD SEPARATION. DESPITE THEIR SUSPICION THE CREW CONTINUED TO MCI, WHERE, ACCORDING TO THE REPORT FROM THE REGIONAL OPERATIONS CENTER, AN EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED AND EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT WAS ON STANDBY. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT. UPON INSPECTION OF THE AIRCRAFT, MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL DISCOVERED THE #1 TIRE RECAP HAD SEPARATED FROM THE WHEEL ASSEMBLY. FURTHER INSPECTION FOUND DAMAGE TO THE LEFT MAIN GEAR DOOR, SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO HAVE CAUSED THE LOWER (INNER) GEAR DOOR TO DETACH AND LAND ON THE RUNWAY WHILE THE AIRCRAFT LANDED AT MCI. FURTHER DAMAGE WAS DISCOVERED TO THE LEFT INBOARD FORE FLAP, AND TRAILING EDGE FLAP, BOTH OF WHICH REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS OTHER MINOR DAMAGE TO ACCESS PANELS, AND SEAL RETAINERS IN LMLG AREA. WITH THIS REPORT INCIDENT NUMBER CE2001IAC0060 IS CONSIDERED CLOSED.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
