3.6.3 BLOWN TYRE ON TAKEOFF

A blown tyre condition is difficult to recognise. The directional control loss may be confused with
crosswind.
Aborting takeoff may be more dangerous than continuing, especially if speed is already high. If takeoff
is continued do not retract the landing gear, reduce the gross weight and plan to land as soon as
practical (refer to landing emergencies chapter 3.8.1 Landing With A Blown Tyre later in this section).
If aborting the takeoff try to maintain directional control with rudder, differential braking (if available)
and NWS when at control speed. Stop straight ahead and shut down the aircraft. Do not taxi further
unless in case of an emergency.
