Ladies and Gentlemen,

 

Another flat spot has been discovered on our aircraft.  64L has new tires, and now the right main shows signs of a cross-wind landing with braking, causing the tire to be flat-spotted.

 

It is understandable these things happen.  However, if you have experienced a rougher than normal landing, please check out the aircraft thoroughly -- including monitoring 121.5.  If you discover something like this tire, PLEASE CALL somebody.  DO NOT LEAVE IT TO BE SQUAWKED by the next pilot.  Now that pilot has to determine whether or not it's safe to fly the airplane, and if he/she decides it is unsafe, guess what?  That pilot may have to wait awhile before another aiplane comes available, or wait while the bad tire has to be replaced.  Either way, it's not very courteous.

 

Yours,

Jeff Vanhoozer
