The other day after a normal lesson in a Seneca, I noticed the nose wheel was leaking air while we pushed the plane into the hangar. I’m thankful I did not have to land with a flat tire, but I started to think about what that would look like. Then I wondered if you would even be able to tell if it were flat or not. I always check the landing gear lights and look in the mirror to visually see the nose wheel. Does anyone think you would be able to tell if the tire is flat? Does anyone have any experience with flat tires and a view of the tire in flight?
