## Discrepancy

ACFT WAS PARKED ON RAMP AFTER FLIGHT AND A COUPLE HOURS LATER A PASSING PILOT NOTICED THE NOSE TIRE COMPLETELY FLAT.  MX REMOVED THE TIRE AND DISCOVERED THAT THE TUBE HAD A 1" LONG SPLIT IN IT. THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON THIS SIZE OF TUBE OVER THE LAST WHILE.  TUBE WAS REPLACED.
