## Narrative

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

(-23) AFTER V1, RIGHT TIRE FAILED. PILOT SUSPECTED TIRE FAILURE BECAUSE OF VIBRATION. PILOT ELECTED TO KEEP LANDING GEAR DOWN AND RETURN TO LNK FOR PRECAUTIONARY LANDING. TOWER INITIATED AARF TO STAND BY. PILOT STATED HE MADE A SOFT FIELD LANDING, WITHOUT USING BRAKE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, BUT OTHER TIRE ON RIGHT LANDING GEAR ALSO FAILED. AIRCRAFT HAD TO BE TOWED FROM RUNWAY TO FBO FOR TIRE CHANGE. AFTER TIRE CHANGES, AIRCRAFT CONTINUED ON TO DENVER. PILOT STATED A COMPANY IRREGULAR REPORT WAS INITIATED.

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.
