## Narrative

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

THE PILOT WAS FLYING PART 91 WITH A PASSENGER ON BOARD.  UPON LANDING RUNWAY 32 AT RDU, THE RIGHT MAIN TIRE POPPED A HOLE AND WENT FLAT, APPARENTLY DUE TO EXCESSIVE BRAKING.

THE NATURE OF THE INCIDENT SEEMS TO INDICATE THAT THE PILOT'S APPROACH TO RUNWAY 32 WAS EITHER TOO HIGH, TOO FAST, OR BOTH.  AS A RESULT, THE PILOT APPEARS TO HAVE NEEDED EXCESSIVE BRAKING TO STOP THE AIRCRAFT BEFORE OVERRUNNING THE RUNWAY.  THE RIGHT MAIN TIRE LEFT A SKIDMARK OF APPROXIMATELY 1,000 FEET (AS ESTIMATED BY THE AIRPORT AUTHORITY WORKERS) BEFORE THE AIRCRAFT STOPPED, AND THE NOSEGEAR EXITED THE RUNWAY INTO THE GRASS OFF THE END OF THE RUNWAY.  THE TWO MAIN LANDING GEAR DID NOT DEPART THE RUNWAY.  NO INJURIES OR OTHER DAMAGE WAS NOTED BESIDES THE LEFT AND RIGHT MAIN TIRE.

THE MECHANIC WHO REPAIRED THE AIRCRAFT INDICATED THAT THE RIGHT MAIN TIRE HAD A HOLE ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE TREAD AND CARCASS WITH A DIMENSION OF APPROXIMATELY 3 INCHES BY 4 INCHES.  THE LEFT MAIN TIRE WAS NOTED TO HAVE A FLAT SPOT EXCEEDING THE WEAR LIMITS OF THE TIRE TREAD, BUT NOT PENETRATING THE CARCASS.  NO FURTHER DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT WAS REPORTED AT THAT TIME BY THE MECHANIC, WHO REPLACED BOTH TIRES AND TUBES.

THE NATURE OF THE DAMAGE TO THE TIRES INDICATES THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THE PILOT APPLIED EXCESSIVE BRAKING TO STOP THE AIRCRAFT.  THE WEATHER AND RUNWAY CONDITIONS AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT WERE BOTH DRY WITH NO SIGNIFICANT WIND (070 AT 5 KNOTS).  VISIBILITY WAS 10SM AND CEILINGS WERE BROKEN AT 3,700 FEET WITH NO PRECIPITATION.

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.
