## Discrepancy

FOLLOWING A NORMAL LANDING, THE ACFT SUFFERED A FLAT TIRE ON TAXI BACK TO THE RAMP.  UPON DISASSEMBLY OF THE WHEEL, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE INNER TUBE WAS CUT BY A LOOSE CORD ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE.  THIS IS THE 3RD SIMILAR INCIDENT WITHIN 6 MONTHS AT THIS FACILITY, ALL WITH THE SAME TIRE PN.  UPON INVESTIGATION THE OTHER TIRES ALSO HAD A LOOSE CORD ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE WITH A CORRESPONDING SLICE IN THE INNER TUBE.
