Flat Tire Landing with a Cessna
Asked by: Dave 9476 views General Aviation, Light Sport Aircraft, Private Pilot
The Cessna POH (172R) lists a Emergency Checklist for "Landing with a Flat MAIN/NOSE Tire.
Thats very nice! :D, BUT, how does one know in first place if the tire is flat when "airborne", specially the nose gear??
I cant figure out how you could possibly see or figure it out, unless until touch down...
I have seen uninflated Cessna tires before that were not attached to the plane, and their uninflated appearance does not differentiate from their inflated look i would say. So, when airborne, you dont have any pressure on them....
Any Idea's or experience?
Thanks!
