Flat tires on 2 occasions, replacing a radio antenna, and high oil temps during my training. In retrospect, I'm very glad that this happened during training - I remain cooler and more focused when it matters most!

I've been there, just AFTER a landing @ KBUU
thankfully you didn't LAND with a flat...
sorta reinforces the preflight checklist idea
the side-effect was a tour of Burlington, Wi in yet another former police cruiser airport car & my 1st visit to WAG Aero for a tube
we were fortunate in that we landed at an airport with an A&P onsite/avaialble -
enjoy your flying- when's the checkride?

Brady,
Same thing happened to me. I had just made the last landing of the day in my Remos and on the taxi way back to the hanger I felt the same thing. Bumpy and sluggish movement. Sure enough...flat right tire. Glad it happened after the landing.

Happened in a G3 to me, too (and I've heard of other cases). After landing and turning onto the main taxiway with no issue, the tire just rolled off the rim, while taxiing at very slow speed. NOT a leak or puncture, JUST ROLLED OFF THE RIM. I wasn't even in a turn when it happened. I love the G3, but this has to be fixed before someone gets hurt. The thing is, this is easy to fix, but the S-LSA nature of the beast requires Remos to address it.

Yeah, these things happen. But as you said it's good real life experience that you're getting. This has happened twice to me, one time while I was flying Young Eagles with 3 kids in the plane and their parents watching from the FBO.

Since this is about learning to be a pilot and we want to set a great example, let's mention that casually leaning across or hanging around a propeller is not good practice. Even with the Master Switch off, the magnetos might still be "hot" and this flat tire could become far worse for Brady and Jason. Let's look after one another.

Hi Brady,
I followed your progress sine Day 1 since I was considering taking flight lessons last fall. I'm having my first class this Wednesday and I just went over your whole series again yesterday and today. I'm so excited and I can't wait.

Brady,
Seems to be a trend here. When I first started back last year I was flying a Zodiac. We'd been out doing T&G's at a nearby non-controlled field and we're coming back to the home field to end the day. We touched down and one of the mains blew. We got her stopped and then proceeded to try and pull the plane down the runway to the first taxiway. Hey, I was 57 then and got a bit winded before the guy with the tug showed up to finish moving it for us.

Is the tire tubeless or is there in inner tube. If it is tubeless I would definatly look into installing an inner tube. Lucky you were at an airport that has an FBO.
