10,000+ hrs on the 757/767 -


Facts - no brake temp gauges
no tire pressure gauges


on the airplane in question.

What causes multiple tire failures? Typically auto brake/anti skid problems


Taxiing a small corporate jet is nothing like taxiing a 767.


The plane taxi's at idle power at 400,000 lbs. It's under 310,000 lbs on landing. The plane was at idle power in the videos. There was no asymmetrical thrust or additional thrust required.


Drag from the flat tires? 18,000+ hrs in airliners, to include some flat tires. We never knew about the flat tires until we got to the gate. One or two flat tires wasn't noticeable. Don't know about four tires, especially that are rolling on the metal rims(low drag?).


A/c tilt from the blown tires on one side might have been the only clue I can think of. Not sure if it would be enough to notice.
