All Just for information and safety knowledge I can declare that my trike has landed with a flat nose wheel without anything startling . I had been aware of the likelihood prior to landing .

I have had three in seven years of flying. Two were nosewheel flats due to pinched inner tubes on the outer, not inner surface of the tube with slow breakdown of integrity. These flats occurred while taxiing. One of those occurred at night at KISP at the far end of Rwy 24, about 1.5 nm from starting ramp. Of note, my call to the tower elicited an EMS vehicle (ambulance!), not a tow rig which then took an extra hour to organize. The other nose gear flat occurred after only 0.5 sm of taxiing. The main gear flat occurred on landing and the a/c remained controllable with rudder and brakes. It was a rapid leak, not a sudden blowout. -------- Ira N224XS Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=345095#345095 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message europa-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Europa-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/europa-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/europa-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
