Narrative:

Everything was normal until about 200' AGL. First officer had done everything to prepare for the landing except brief me on non standard procedures. At 200' on G/south I gave first officer visibility reference to the runway at which time he called for full flaps. This resulted in the aircraft ballooning above G/south and our T/D approximately 3000' down the runway, at which point first officer started to use brakes to slow the aircraft. I told the first officer at that time not to use the brakes for fear we would blow a tire. Unbeknownst to me, the left main had already blown. At approximately 50-60 KTS I requested first officer to select ground fine to help slow the aircraft. Upon my request, first officer selected full ground find on the operating engine (left)--negative 2 degree blade angle with full ground fine and left main tire blown. The aircraft took an immediate left turn of about 70 degrees before I could resume control. Aircraft was leaving runway approximately 5000' from threshold. Rolled along runway for about 1200' coming to rest about 75' west of runway 36L. Do damage to aircraft or airport (lights, runway, etc). Cause: in my estimation first officer inexperience with use of anti-skid and reverse during single engine landing.

Title: DURING LNDG LTT BLOWS TIRE, LOSES CONTROL AND DEPARTS THE RWY.

Narrative: EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL UNTIL ABOUT 200' AGL. F/O HAD DONE EVERYTHING TO PREPARE FOR THE LNDG EXCEPT BRIEF ME ON NON STANDARD PROCS. AT 200' ON G/S I GAVE F/O VIS REF TO THE RWY AT WHICH TIME HE CALLED FOR FULL FLAPS. THIS RESULTED IN THE ACFT BALLOONING ABOVE G/S AND OUR T/D APPROX 3000' DOWN THE RWY, AT WHICH POINT F/O STARTED TO USE BRAKES TO SLOW THE ACFT. I TOLD THE F/O AT THAT TIME NOT TO USE THE BRAKES FOR FEAR WE WOULD BLOW A TIRE. UNBEKNOWNST TO ME, THE LEFT MAIN HAD ALREADY BLOWN. AT APPROX 50-60 KTS I REQUESTED F/O TO SELECT GND FINE TO HELP SLOW THE ACFT. UPON MY REQUEST, F/O SELECTED FULL GND FIND ON THE OPERATING ENG (LEFT)--NEGATIVE 2 DEG BLADE ANGLE WITH FULL GND FINE AND LEFT MAIN TIRE BLOWN. THE ACFT TOOK AN IMMEDIATE LEFT TURN OF ABOUT 70 DEGS BEFORE I COULD RESUME CONTROL. ACFT WAS LEAVING RWY APPROX 5000' FROM THRESHOLD. ROLLED ALONG RWY FOR ABOUT 1200' COMING TO REST ABOUT 75' W OF RWY 36L. DO DAMAGE TO ACFT OR ARPT (LIGHTS, RWY, ETC). CAUSE: IN MY ESTIMATION F/O INEXPERIENCE WITH USE OF ANTI-SKID AND REVERSE DURING SINGLE ENG LNDG.
