Narrative:
Upon landing at manchester, nh, a blown nose wheel tire was experienced. A momentary loss of directional control was experienced. The aircraft decelerated abruptly and yawing to the left was encountered. Upon regaining control of the aircraft 2 runway edge lights were contacted on the left side of the runway. The runway edge lights were located approximately 500-1000 ft beyond the fixed distance markers. At the time of the incident there was moderate rain. I believe standing water on the runway was a contributing factor to the loss of directional control. If the nose wheel problem had arose on a dry runway I believe directional control could have been maintained. This however is only speculation. Including the day of the incident I had worked 6 of the previous 7 days. My total flight time within the previous 7 days was 31.6 hours which is within 2.4 hours of the legal limit. My total duty time within the previous 7 days was approximately 60 hours. I can only speculate that pilot fatigue also played a role in the incident.

Title: BLOWN NOSE TIRE ON LNDG CAUSED ACFT TO VEER OR YAW TO EDGE OF RWY. RWY LIGHTS ENCOUNTERED BEFORE ACFT BROUGHT UNDER CTL ON WET RWY.
Narrative: UPON LNDG AT MANCHESTER, NH, A BLOWN NOSE WHEEL TIRE WAS EXPERIENCED. A MOMENTARY LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CTL WAS EXPERIENCED. THE ACFT DECELERATED ABRUPTLY AND YAWING TO THE L WAS ENCOUNTERED. UPON REGAINING CTL OF THE ACFT 2 RWY EDGE LIGHTS WERE CONTACTED ON THE L SIDE OF THE RWY. THE RWY EDGE LIGHTS WERE LOCATED APPROX 500-1000 FT BEYOND THE FIXED DISTANCE MARKERS. AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT THERE WAS MODERATE RAIN. I BELIEVE STANDING WATER ON THE RWY WAS A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TO THE LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CTL. IF THE NOSE WHEEL PROBLEM HAD AROSE ON A DRY RWY I BELIEVE DIRECTIONAL CTL COULD HAVE BEEN MAINTAINED. THIS HOWEVER IS ONLY SPECULATION. INCLUDING THE DAY OF THE INCIDENT I HAD WORKED 6 OF THE PREVIOUS 7 DAYS. MY TOTAL FLT TIME WITHIN THE PREVIOUS 7 DAYS WAS 31.6 HRS WHICH IS WITHIN 2.4 HRS OF THE LEGAL LIMIT. MY TOTAL DUTY TIME WITHIN THE PREVIOUS 7 DAYS WAS APPROX 60 HRS. I CAN ONLY SPECULATE THAT PLT FATIGUE ALSO PLAYED A ROLE IN THE INCIDENT.
