Blown tyres

Unfortunately, the fact that a tyre has blown is not always immediately known especially in larger aircraft with multiple wheels. Often it is a report from ATC after finding debris on the runway which alerts the operating crew to the problem.

However, if it is known, then a circuit with the gear down for a landing back at the departure airfield is probably the most prudent.
