Narrative:

After ILS 35R den, we had taxied approximately 200 yards on taxiway Z and the 2 left main tires blew. We kept control and stopped in middle of taxiway Z, blocking it. We alerted tower, then ground, then company and explained to passenger what had happened and a bus would be coming shortly. The passenger were very understanding, ground control helpful, and everything was ok. I called my chief pilot, and he said good job. A few days later, I found out that anytime that you deplane passenger not at your gate, ATC considers it an emergency evacuate/evacuation. I shrugged at this and decided to write you because I probably will get a call from FAA about a 8020 11. I wouldn't even be writing this (I think it's ridiculous, except the tower chooses an adversarial relationship, and not alert pilots to the fact paperwork is involved. An incident report because of 2 flat tires is stupid! And calling this an emergency evacuate/evacuation is prelude to war.

Title: POSSIBLE FLC DEV IN PAPER WORK AND FILING AN INCIDENT RPT REGARDING AN 'EMER EVAC.'

Narrative: AFTER ILS 35R DEN, WE HAD TAXIED APPROX 200 YARDS ON TXWY Z AND THE 2 L MAIN TIRES BLEW. WE KEPT CTL AND STOPPED IN MIDDLE OF TXWY Z, BLOCKING IT. WE ALERTED TWR, THEN GND, THEN COMPANY AND EXPLAINED TO PAX WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND A BUS WOULD BE COMING SHORTLY. THE PAX WERE VERY UNDERSTANDING, GND CTL HELPFUL, AND EVERYTHING WAS OK. I CALLED MY CHIEF PLT, AND HE SAID GOOD JOB. A FEW DAYS LATER, I FOUND OUT THAT ANYTIME THAT YOU DEPLANE PAX NOT AT YOUR GATE, ATC CONSIDERS IT AN EMER EVAC. I SHRUGGED AT THIS AND DECIDED TO WRITE YOU BECAUSE I PROBABLY WILL GET A CALL FROM FAA ABOUT A 8020 11. I WOULDN'T EVEN BE WRITING THIS (I THINK IT'S RIDICULOUS, EXCEPT THE TWR CHOOSES AN ADVERSARIAL RELATIONSHIP, AND NOT ALERT PLTS TO THE FACT PAPERWORK IS INVOLVED. AN INCIDENT RPT BECAUSE OF 2 FLAT TIRES IS STUPID! AND CALLING THIS AN EMER EVAC IS PRELUDE TO WAR.
