## Discrepancy

FLIGHT 002 FROM MPTO TO MIA. AFTER NORMAL LANDING AND NORMAL TOUCHDOWN, AND WITHOUT APPLICATION OF BRAKES ON TOUCHDOWN THE MAIN TIRES BLEW AND AIRCRAFT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE MIA TOWER INFORMED US OF FIRE OR SMOKE COMING FROM RIGHT WHEEL WELL AND WE REQUESTED EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE. FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONDED AND AIRCRAFT WAS SECURE. THE AIRCRAFT WAS INSPECTED AND PREPARED FOR A SPECIAL MAINTENANCE FERRY FLIGHT FROM MIA TO JAX TO BE WORK AT THE FLIGHTSTAR REPAIR FACILITY IN JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA.
