## Narrative

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

(-23) WHILE TAXIING FOR TAKE-OFF AIRCRAFT RAN OVER A RUNWAY LIGHT. NUMBER 1 AND 5 MAIN TIRES BLEW OUT ON TAKE-OFF. THE DOTHAN CONTROL TOWER INFORMED THE CREW THAT THEY HEARD THE TIRES BLOW AND VERIFIED THE TIRES BLEW ON TAKE-OFF. THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO DOTHAN AND LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.

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.
