## Discrepancy

ON DESCENT FOR LANDING, THE CREW RECEIVED AN UNSAFE RT MLG INDICATION UPON LOWERING GEAR.  THE CREW VISUALLY CHECKED THE GEAR AND SAW THAT IT SHOWED DOWN AND LOCKED.  THE CAPTAIN RAN THE EMERGENCY CHECKLIST AND PROCEEDED TO LAND.  UPON TOUCHDOWN, HE ELECTED TO NOT USE PROP REVERSE TO SLOW DOWN, INSTEAD USING THE BRAKES, WHICH RESULTED IN THE LT MLG TIRE SKIDDING AND RUPTURING. THE RESULTING TIRE DEBRIS DAMAGED THE SQUAT SWITCH WIRING, HYDRAULIC HARD AND FLEX LINES, LT INBD FLAP AND LT INBD GEAR DOOR.
