Narrative:
After complete preflight check of aircraft, taxied small transport X to runway 20 at aoo. Took off and contacted ZOB on 128.45, was given clearance to jst. I then proceeded as directed. Cle directed on several different headings (vectors). Then I was told to climb and maintain 6000' from 5000'. I complied. At 6000' I experienced moderate rime ice. I used the de-ice boots twice to remove ice from wings and propellers. Center then told me to descend and maintain 5000', and I complied and reported level at 5000'. Center then told me to intercept the 326 degree right for an approach to jst. I was having trouble picking up the reciprocal 146 degree right inbound and told them so. Center gave me a vector of 170 degrees to intercept. I did and saw a 'to' indication on course. Center cleared me for the approach, to contact jst FSS on 123.6. I read back clearance and changed frequencys. Called jst radio and told them I was on the approach at about 4000'. I broke out of clouds and was in definite VFR conditions. I descended to about 2800' VFR and started to visually look for the airport. After several mins and not seeing the airport I looked again at the #1 VOR-HSI, and saw a navigation flag, realizing something was wrong I immediately switched #2 navigation VOR to the jst frequency 113.0. Turned obs to the 146 degree right inbound course and found a 'from' indication. Immediately I called missed approach to jst radio on 123.6, then declared missed approach with center. Also immediately initiated published missed approach procedure. Center then gave me vectors to rumml NDB to hold. I complied. Center then cleared me for ILS 33 approach to jst, and to contact jst radio on 123.6. I complied. The ILS approach went fine and I proceeded to land. Upon landing the left main landing gear tire blew out. I maintained directional control with right and kept aircraft going straight down runway. (Runway length 5486' X 150') and came to complete stop approximately 1500' from end of runway, 3' from centerline. However, I was told later I had approximately a 25 KT tailwind, 15 KTS above tailwind component. Only damage to aircraft was blown tire and brake hose. To summarize I need to stay more ahead of plane and stay out of ice conditions.

Title: PLT OF LIGHT TWIN ENCOUNTERS ICING CONDITIONS, INCORRECTLY EXECUTES INSTRUMENT APCH, MISSED APCH TO A SUCCESSFUL ILS, SUBSEQUENTLY MAKES DOWNWIND LNDG AT UNCONTROLLED ARPT RESULTING IN BLOWN TIRE AND BRAKE HOSE.
Narrative: AFTER COMPLETE PREFLT CHK OF ACFT, TAXIED SMT X TO RWY 20 AT AOO. TOOK OFF AND CONTACTED ZOB ON 128.45, WAS GIVEN CLRNC TO JST. I THEN PROCEEDED AS DIRECTED. CLE DIRECTED ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT HDGS (VECTORS). THEN I WAS TOLD TO CLB AND MAINTAIN 6000' FROM 5000'. I COMPLIED. AT 6000' I EXPERIENCED MODERATE RIME ICE. I USED THE DE-ICE BOOTS TWICE TO REMOVE ICE FROM WINGS AND PROPS. CTR THEN TOLD ME TO DSND AND MAINTAIN 5000', AND I COMPLIED AND RPTED LEVEL AT 5000'. CTR THEN TOLD ME TO INTERCEPT THE 326 DEG R FOR AN APCH TO JST. I WAS HAVING TROUBLE PICKING UP THE RECIPROCAL 146 DEG R INBND AND TOLD THEM SO. CTR GAVE ME A VECTOR OF 170 DEGS TO INTERCEPT. I DID AND SAW A 'TO' INDICATION ON COURSE. CTR CLRED ME FOR THE APCH, TO CONTACT JST FSS ON 123.6. I READ BACK CLRNC AND CHANGED FREQS. CALLED JST RADIO AND TOLD THEM I WAS ON THE APCH AT ABOUT 4000'. I BROKE OUT OF CLOUDS AND WAS IN DEFINITE VFR CONDITIONS. I DSNDED TO ABOUT 2800' VFR AND STARTED TO VISUALLY LOOK FOR THE ARPT. AFTER SEVERAL MINS AND NOT SEEING THE ARPT I LOOKED AGAIN AT THE #1 VOR-HSI, AND SAW A NAV FLAG, REALIZING SOMETHING WAS WRONG I IMMEDIATELY SWITCHED #2 NAV VOR TO THE JST FREQ 113.0. TURNED OBS TO THE 146 DEG R INBND COURSE AND FOUND A 'FROM' INDICATION. IMMEDIATELY I CALLED MISSED APCH TO JST RADIO ON 123.6, THEN DECLARED MISSED APCH WITH CTR. ALSO IMMEDIATELY INITIATED PUBLISHED MISSED APCH PROC. CTR THEN GAVE ME VECTORS TO RUMML NDB TO HOLD. I COMPLIED. CTR THEN CLRED ME FOR ILS 33 APCH TO JST, AND TO CONTACT JST RADIO ON 123.6. I COMPLIED. THE ILS APCH WENT FINE AND I PROCEEDED TO LAND. UPON LNDG THE LEFT MAIN LNDG GEAR TIRE BLEW OUT. I MAINTAINED DIRECTIONAL CONTROL WITH RIGHT AND KEPT ACFT GOING STRAIGHT DOWN RWY. (RWY LENGTH 5486' X 150') AND CAME TO COMPLETE STOP APPROX 1500' FROM END OF RWY, 3' FROM CTRLINE. HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD LATER I HAD APPROX A 25 KT TAILWIND, 15 KTS ABOVE TAILWIND COMPONENT. ONLY DAMAGE TO ACFT WAS BLOWN TIRE AND BRAKE HOSE. TO SUMMARIZE I NEED TO STAY MORE AHEAD OF PLANE AND STAY OUT OF ICE CONDITIONS.
