Narrative:

Performed a visual approach to runway 16 at ilm, crossed the threshold at 132 KTS on the VASI and made a smooth touchdown approximately 1500' from the end of the runway. Used spoilers, reverse and light braking on rollout and noticed nothing unusual except the nose fell through at a faster rate than normal and the aircraft wanted to move right. The aircraft came to rest at the intersection of 16 and 5/23. A few seconds before we stopped I noticed right wing down about 1-2 degree and then the aircraft stopped with no brake input from me. I made a PA to alert the F/a's that we had an apparent tire problem, emergency equipment was on its way and to stay seated. The first officer opened his window, looked out and reported smoke and flames in the right wheel well area. We accomplished the evacuate/evacuation checklist commanding evacuate/evacuation out the left side. Evacuate/evacuation took less than a minute, fire equipment arrived in approximately 2 minutes to extinguish #3 tire. One male passenger injured his ankle deplaning, subsequently reported as a sprain. Antiskid was on MEL and switches off for the flight. Spoiler 'do not arm' light illuminated when armed, spoilers were down and detent and deployed manually. #3 and 4 tire blow out, from personal observation of the tire marks from a maintenance pickup it looked like #3 and 4 never rotated. #2 tire blew out and tire marks indicate some skidding not as much as 3 and 4. #1 tire showed no skidding and stayed inflated. Immediately after evacuate/evacuation I noticed smoke moving to the nose of the aircraft indicating a 3-4 KT tailwind. ATIS reported calm wind, tower the same on short final. Following the incident ilm company maintenance alerted me to a history of chronic antiskid, brake and tire problems. History include changes of antiskid component wheels blow tires, brake components and 13 tire changes for flat spots in 6 weeks.

Title: MLG TYPE ACFT ON LNDG BLEW RIGHT TIRES. FIRE AND SMOKE CONTROLLED BY EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT. ACFT EVACUATED, ONE MALE PASSENGER INJURED ANKLE.

Narrative: PERFORMED A VISUAL APCH TO RWY 16 AT ILM, CROSSED THE THRESHOLD AT 132 KTS ON THE VASI AND MADE A SMOOTH TOUCHDOWN APPROX 1500' FROM THE END OF THE RWY. USED SPOILERS, REVERSE AND LIGHT BRAKING ON ROLLOUT AND NOTICED NOTHING UNUSUAL EXCEPT THE NOSE FELL THROUGH AT A FASTER RATE THAN NORMAL AND THE ACFT WANTED TO MOVE RIGHT. THE ACFT CAME TO REST AT THE INTXN OF 16 AND 5/23. A FEW SECONDS BEFORE WE STOPPED I NOTICED RIGHT WING DOWN ABOUT 1-2 DEG AND THEN THE ACFT STOPPED WITH NO BRAKE INPUT FROM ME. I MADE A PA TO ALERT THE F/A'S THAT WE HAD AN APPARENT TIRE PROBLEM, EMER EQUIPMENT WAS ON ITS WAY AND TO STAY SEATED. THE F/O OPENED HIS WINDOW, LOOKED OUT AND REPORTED SMOKE AND FLAMES IN THE RIGHT WHEEL WELL AREA. WE ACCOMPLISHED THE EVAC CHECKLIST COMMANDING EVAC OUT THE LEFT SIDE. EVAC TOOK LESS THAN A MINUTE, FIRE EQUIPMENT ARRIVED IN APPROX 2 MINUTES TO EXTINGUISH #3 TIRE. ONE MALE PAX INJURED HIS ANKLE DEPLANING, SUBSEQUENTLY REPORTED AS A SPRAIN. ANTISKID WAS ON MEL AND SWITCHES OFF FOR THE FLT. SPOILER 'DO NOT ARM' LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHEN ARMED, SPOILERS WERE DOWN AND DETENT AND DEPLOYED MANUALLY. #3 AND 4 TIRE BLOW OUT, FROM PERSONAL OBSERVATION OF THE TIRE MARKS FROM A MAINT PICKUP IT LOOKED LIKE #3 AND 4 NEVER ROTATED. #2 TIRE BLEW OUT AND TIRE MARKS INDICATE SOME SKIDDING NOT AS MUCH AS 3 AND 4. #1 TIRE SHOWED NO SKIDDING AND STAYED INFLATED. IMMEDIATELY AFTER EVAC I NOTICED SMOKE MOVING TO THE NOSE OF THE ACFT INDICATING A 3-4 KT TAILWIND. ATIS REPORTED CALM WIND, TWR THE SAME ON SHORT FINAL. FOLLOWING THE INCIDENT ILM COMPANY MAINT ALERTED ME TO A HISTORY OF CHRONIC ANTISKID, BRAKE AND TIRE PROBLEMS. HISTORY INCLUDE CHANGES OF ANTISKID COMPONENT WHEELS BLOW TIRES, BRAKE COMPONENTS AND 13 TIRE CHANGES FOR FLAT SPOTS IN 6 WEEKS.
