I landed on a completely flat tire on the 77W with no problems at all as I said.
Did I request priority? No
Did I discuss the situation and possible outcomes with ATC and Ops Eng on the Sat phone? Yes
We were well prepared, but I didn't see the necessity to declare any emergency, request priority or indeed tell the pax.
Anyway knowing India's love of red tape he'll be filling out paperwork for weeks......j
