From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

On April 12, 2016, at 0955 MDT, a Cessna 182R, N9472E, registered to civil air patrol (cap), inc., blew a tire on landing at Taos regional airport (kskx), Taos, new Mexico, while on a training flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time, and a VFR flight plan was not filed. The aircraft received minor damaged, and the certificated flight instructor and other crew member who was not a pilot (scanner) were not injured. The flight originated at kskx, on April 12, 2016, at 900 MDT.

The pilot was conducting his fourth circuit around the traffic pattern and on the upwind leg experience a flight control mailfunction. He noticed a strong nose up pitch tendency and limited fore and aft yoke movement. The pilot stabilized aircraft control with a reduction of power and then was able to have more aft yoke movement after applying enough back pressure that resulted in a snapping and popping sound. The pilot completed the pattern to runway 22 and according to the airport manager upon landing the left tire appeared to have contacted the runway with the brakes locked. The skid marks began 1,873 feet from the runway 22 threshold lights. The left main tire skid marks continue for 635 feet. The right main tire appeared to have contacted the runway with the brakes locked 1,969 feet from the runway 22 threshold lights and continued for 539 feet. The left main tire blew on landing and the right main tire had a flat spot.
