The Shadow, we are not just talking about a tyre burst here. The damage from the first incident caused a hydraulic leak to the extent that the runway was closed for a period in order to clear the fluid from the runway. In this case I am sure the FDR WOULD be looked at, not only by the operator, but by the AAIB. As for "pilots bursting tyres with monotonous regularty" well I never have and I don't know of anyone who has either. I am not suggesting of course that it does not happen, but not to the extent you imply. If you are experiencing this a lot in your company then perhaps you have a training issue??
