## Discrepancy

THE ACFT LISTED IN THIS REPORT IS 1 OF SEVERAL LIGHT GENERAL AVIATION ACFT OPERATED BY A FLIGHT SCHOOL.  WE HAVE EXPERIENCED 5 FAILURES OF TIRE TUBES, PN 302-246-40, WITHIN THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS.  THESE FAILURES HAVE OCCURED DURING LANDING AND POSE A SAFETY HAZARD.  IN SPEAKING WITH OUR PARTS SUPPLIER, WE WERE TOLD THERE IS A MATERIAL PROBLEM WITH ACFT TIRE TUBES WHICH IS CAUSING THESE FAILURES.
