Narrative:

I was in contact with long island tower for a visual approach and landing on runway 33R, as I recall winds were relatively light with at most 10-20 degree crosswind. The approach was good -- good touchdown but shortly after landing I realized something was wrong -- I stopped the aircraft on the runway and observed the right main tire had blown out. The incident illustrates to me that no landing is routine and you must be ever diligent for the unexpected even in clear, calm WX.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: TIRE BLEW ON LNDG.

Narrative: I WAS IN CONTACT WITH LONG ISLAND TWR FOR A VISUAL APCH AND LNDG ON RWY 33R, AS I RECALL WINDS WERE RELATIVELY LIGHT WITH AT MOST 10-20 DEG XWIND. THE APCH WAS GOOD -- GOOD TOUCHDOWN BUT SHORTLY AFTER LNDG I REALIZED SOMETHING WAS WRONG -- I STOPPED THE ACFT ON THE RWY AND OBSERVED THE R MAIN TIRE HAD BLOWN OUT. THE INCIDENT ILLUSTRATES TO ME THAT NO LNDG IS ROUTINE AND YOU MUST BE EVER DILIGENT FOR THE UNEXPECTED EVEN IN CLR, CALM WX.
