Narrative:

At touchdown on runway 31, the jet decelerated rapidly and the nose attempted to lower faster than normal. The first officer was flying and didn't allow the nose to contact the runway too hard. At about 90 KTS, the aircraft began to shimmy and vibrate. I took control of the jet and eased off the brakes. I sensed at least 1 blown tire. I asked the first officer if he landed with the brakes 'on.' he said 'maybe his toes were on them.' as it turned out, 1 tire was blown and the other 3 were useless. The first officer indicated he thought the runway was short (7500 ft long). Our vref was only 135 KTS, not much of a challenge for 7500 ft of runway. Noteworthy was the fact the first officer was type rated in the aircraft and a current simulator instructor in the same. Reviewing the events, it was night, so I could not watch his ft. I took control seconds after touchdown. I'm not sure what I could have done to prevent this incident. The first officer was also a KC135 commander. I had no reason to believe he'd land with the brakes on.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: PF, FO, HAD BRAKES ON DURING INITIAL LNDG ROLL AND RESULTED IN BLOWN TIRE AND OTHER TIRES DAMAGED.

Narrative: AT TOUCHDOWN ON RWY 31, THE JET DECELERATED RAPIDLY AND THE NOSE ATTEMPTED TO LOWER FASTER THAN NORMAL. THE FO WAS FLYING AND DIDN'T ALLOW THE NOSE TO CONTACT THE RWY TOO HARD. AT ABOUT 90 KTS, THE ACFT BEGAN TO SHIMMY AND VIBRATE. I TOOK CTL OF THE JET AND EASED OFF THE BRAKES. I SENSED AT LEAST 1 BLOWN TIRE. I ASKED THE FO IF HE LANDED WITH THE BRAKES 'ON.' HE SAID 'MAYBE HIS TOES WERE ON THEM.' AS IT TURNED OUT, 1 TIRE WAS BLOWN AND THE OTHER 3 WERE USELESS. THE FO INDICATED HE THOUGHT THE RWY WAS SHORT (7500 FT LONG). OUR VREF WAS ONLY 135 KTS, NOT MUCH OF A CHALLENGE FOR 7500 FT OF RWY. NOTEWORTHY WAS THE FACT THE FO WAS TYPE RATED IN THE ACFT AND A CURRENT SIMULATOR INSTRUCTOR IN THE SAME. REVIEWING THE EVENTS, IT WAS NIGHT, SO I COULD NOT WATCH HIS FT. I TOOK CTL SECONDS AFTER TOUCHDOWN. I'M NOT SURE WHAT I COULD HAVE DONE TO PREVENT THIS INCIDENT. THE FO WAS ALSO A KC135 COMMANDER. I HAD NO REASON TO BELIEVE HE'D LAND WITH THE BRAKES ON.
