What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
During a training flight the CFI and his student were retured to their home airport. (Upper Cumberland Regional Airport) (srb)
During the inital touchdown they each heard a loud pop.
The CFI took control of the aircraft and performed a go around (toga). The student stated "there goes our tire". CFI looked out the left window and noted the same thing.
They flew approximately two more hours burning off fuel. Then landed without incident with two of three landing gears. No hard landing occurred before this failure, which was discussed during interviews.
