Narrative:

On a flight into midland international from dallas fort worth, I experienced a hard landing resulting in a blown right main tire and some scraping to the cargo pod. I was cleared for the VOR runway 16L approach into maf. This was an IOE flight for me. At 5500 ft we started picking up moderate rime ice, and a PIREP was given to approach control. During the approach the deice boots were activated twice, however, we did not activate them after the final approach fix inbound. After becoming visual, a 10 KT higher than normal airspeed was maintained to offset the additional weight of the accumulated ice. When the power was reduced for landing, an excessive sink rate developed with the blown right tire and cargo pod scrape resulting. Steps to prevent this kind of occurrence in the future might be a more thorough pilot to IOE pilot briefing or possibly a demonstration of carrying power to touchdown when landing with accumulated ice. Another preventative procedure may be to utilize the deice boots during the approach, even after the final approach fix inbound.

Title: AIR TAXI CARGO PLT IN A C208B ENCOUNTERS ICE. DEICE BOOTS ARE ACTIVATED, BUT NOT USED AFTER FAF. 10 KT HIGHER THAN NORMAL AIRSPD CARRIED, BUT WHEN PWR REDUCED FOR LNDG AN EXCESSIVE SINK RATE OCCURS. A HARD LNDG AND BLOWN R TIRE RESULT.

Narrative: ON A FLT INTO MIDLAND INTL FROM DALLAS FORT WORTH, I EXPERIENCED A HARD LNDG RESULTING IN A BLOWN R MAIN TIRE AND SOME SCRAPING TO THE CARGO POD. I WAS CLRED FOR THE VOR RWY 16L APCH INTO MAF. THIS WAS AN IOE FLT FOR ME. AT 5500 FT WE STARTED PICKING UP MODERATE RIME ICE, AND A PIREP WAS GIVEN TO APCH CTL. DURING THE APCH THE DEICE BOOTS WERE ACTIVATED TWICE, HOWEVER, WE DID NOT ACTIVATE THEM AFTER THE FINAL APCH FIX INBOUND. AFTER BECOMING VISUAL, A 10 KT HIGHER THAN NORMAL AIRSPD WAS MAINTAINED TO OFFSET THE ADDITIONAL WT OF THE ACCUMULATED ICE. WHEN THE PWR WAS REDUCED FOR LNDG, AN EXCESSIVE SINK RATE DEVELOPED WITH THE BLOWN R TIRE AND CARGO POD SCRAPE RESULTING. STEPS TO PREVENT THIS KIND OF OCCURRENCE IN THE FUTURE MIGHT BE A MORE THOROUGH PLT TO IOE PLT BRIEFING OR POSSIBLY A DEMONSTRATION OF CARRYING PWR TO TOUCHDOWN WHEN LNDG WITH ACCUMULATED ICE. ANOTHER PREVENTATIVE PROC MAY BE TO UTILIZE THE DEICE BOOTS DURING THE APCH, EVEN AFTER THE FINAL APCH FIX INBOUND.
