## Discrepancy

UPON LANDING, THE LT IB WHEEL FAILED AT THE FLANGE AREA.  APPROX .3333 OF THE FLANGE AREA BROKE AWAY AND ALLOWED THE LOCK RING.  (STILL INTACT AND SAFETIED), TO SEPARATE.  DEBRIS, (FLANGE OR WHEEL HALF) CROSSED OVER AND HIT THE RT IB WHEEL, GLANCED UP AND PUNCTURED THE RT WING TRAILING EDGE BOX, (COMPOSITE MATERIAL) AND THE TIRE MADE CONTACT WITH THE RT WING FLAP AND DENTED THE IB END OF IT.  NOTE: THE WING T/E BOX IS NOT PART OF THE FUEL TANK.  IT IS FOR AERODYNAMIC FAIRING OF THE WING.  (WP19200504331) (K)
