Narrative:
Upon landing on runway 28, gdl, mexico, almost immediately after normal touchdown, I felt what appeared to be one of the left main gear tires blow out. A short time later it felt like the remaining left main gear tire blew out. The aircraft began to vibrate and veer slightly to left of centerline. The copilot was making the landing and at this time I informed him that I was steering the aircraft via the nose gear steering and that I had control of the aircraft. Control transition went smoothly with the aircraft steering a track left of but parallel to runway centerline. The aircraft was slowed and steered off the active runway. Gdl ground control was advised of the problem, ground crew assistance was requested and a reminder to check the runway for foreign object damage was issued and acknowledged. The aircraft had been dispatched on this flight with the anti skid system inoperative. Deactivated by maintenance due to a suspected problem in the left main gear inner wheel anti skid system. The anti skid system was off for this landing and the tires blew before brake application. All crew members, pilots and flight attendants performed in accordance with company training and procedures. Passenger remained calm and were subsequently deplaned normally through aft stairs to waiting busses. Successful handling of this situation by all crew members due largely to intensive company training program. However, the aircraft should not have been dispatched to a high altitude hot WX station with anti skid inoperative.

Title: LGT HAS L MAIN TIRES BLOW ON LNDG ROLLOUT.
Narrative: UPON LNDG ON RWY 28, GDL, MEXICO, ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER NORMAL TOUCHDOWN, I FELT WHAT APPEARED TO BE ONE OF THE L MAIN GEAR TIRES BLOW OUT. A SHORT TIME LATER IT FELT LIKE THE REMAINING L MAIN GEAR TIRE BLEW OUT. THE ACFT BEGAN TO VIBRATE AND VEER SLIGHTLY TO L OF CTRLINE. THE COPLT WAS MAKING THE LNDG AND AT THIS TIME I INFORMED HIM THAT I WAS STEERING THE ACFT VIA THE NOSE GEAR STEERING AND THAT I HAD CTL OF THE ACFT. CTL TRANSITION WENT SMOOTHLY WITH THE ACFT STEERING A TRACK L OF BUT PARALLEL TO RWY CTRLINE. THE ACFT WAS SLOWED AND STEERED OFF THE ACTIVE RWY. GDL GND CTL WAS ADVISED OF THE PROB, GND CREW ASSISTANCE WAS REQUESTED AND A REMINDER TO CHK THE RWY FOR FOREIGN OBJECT DAMAGE WAS ISSUED AND ACKNOWLEDGED. THE ACFT HAD BEEN DISPATCHED ON THIS FLT WITH THE ANTI SKID SYS INOP. DEACTIVATED BY MAINT DUE TO A SUSPECTED PROB IN THE L MAIN GEAR INNER WHEEL ANTI SKID SYS. THE ANTI SKID SYS WAS OFF FOR THIS LNDG AND THE TIRES BLEW BEFORE BRAKE APPLICATION. ALL CREW MEMBERS, PLTS AND FLT ATTENDANTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH COMPANY TRAINING AND PROCS. PAX REMAINED CALM AND WERE SUBSEQUENTLY DEPLANED NORMALLY THROUGH AFT STAIRS TO WAITING BUSSES. SUCCESSFUL HANDLING OF THIS SIT BY ALL CREW MEMBERS DUE LARGELY TO INTENSIVE COMPANY TRAINING PROGRAM. HOWEVER, THE ACFT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN DISPATCHED TO A HIGH ALT HOT WX STATION WITH ANTI SKID INOP.
