Narrative:
Statement re: aircraft incident involving left tire blowout: upon flare the T/D was light with light stall warning. The aircraft settled to the runway and braking was applied. Normal braking action indicated a pull to the left at which time pressure was applied to the control wheel and full right aileron applied to assist in directional control. Uncontrollable left momentum (apparently form tire problem) was now present and hard right, full braking was applied in an attempt to prevent the aircraft from being pulled off the left side of the runway. The left main wheel departed the pavement and struck a 3-4' thick cement marker laying above the ground on a mound of dirt. At this point the left main gear collapsed and the left wing struck the ground with the aircraft sliding on left wing, the nose wheel and the right main wheel. The aircraft skidded until coming to rest against an embankment. Neither the passenger nor pilot was injured. I reported the incident to FAA. I was given permission to move aircraft. It was brought to my attention that the aircraft airworthiness certificate had not been change to include its new north#. The aircraft had been painted earlier in the yr and although I had received permission from oklahoma city FAA for the # change, I had forgotten to take the airworthiness certificate in for change. From a pilot's standpoint, little could have ben done to avoid striking the cement marker because it was so close to the runway edge.

Title: LEFT MAIN TIRE ON GA SMT BLEW OUT ON LNDG. ACFT SWERVED INTO RWY MARKER CAUSING GEAR COLLAPSE.
Narrative: STATEMENT RE: ACFT INCIDENT INVOLVING LEFT TIRE BLOWOUT: UPON FLARE THE T/D WAS LIGHT WITH LIGHT STALL WARNING. THE ACFT SETTLED TO THE RWY AND BRAKING WAS APPLIED. NORMAL BRAKING ACTION INDICATED A PULL TO THE LEFT AT WHICH TIME PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE CTL WHEEL AND FULL RIGHT AILERON APPLIED TO ASSIST IN DIRECTIONAL CTL. UNCONTROLLABLE LEFT MOMENTUM (APPARENTLY FORM TIRE PROB) WAS NOW PRESENT AND HARD RIGHT, FULL BRAKING WAS APPLIED IN AN ATTEMPT TO PREVENT THE ACFT FROM BEING PULLED OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RWY. THE LEFT MAIN WHEEL DEPARTED THE PAVEMENT AND STRUCK A 3-4' THICK CEMENT MARKER LAYING ABOVE THE GND ON A MOUND OF DIRT. AT THIS POINT THE LEFT MAIN GEAR COLLAPSED AND THE LEFT WING STRUCK THE GND WITH THE ACFT SLIDING ON LEFT WING, THE NOSE WHEEL AND THE RIGHT MAIN WHEEL. THE ACFT SKIDDED UNTIL COMING TO REST AGAINST AN EMBANKMENT. NEITHER THE PAX NOR PLT WAS INJURED. I RPTED THE INCIDENT TO FAA. I WAS GIVEN PERMISSION TO MOVE ACFT. IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTN THAT THE ACFT AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE HAD NOT BEEN CHANGE TO INCLUDE ITS NEW N#. THE ACFT HAD BEEN PAINTED EARLIER IN THE YR AND ALTHOUGH I HAD RECEIVED PERMISSION FROM OKLAHOMA CITY FAA FOR THE # CHANGE, I HAD FORGOTTEN TO TAKE THE AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE IN FOR CHANGE. FROM A PLT'S STANDPOINT, LITTLE COULD HAVE BEN DONE TO AVOID STRIKING THE CEMENT MARKER BECAUSE IT WAS SO CLOSE TO THE RWY EDGE.
