I assume this was a plane tire?

Either that, or them Duke boys were at it again.

See you have been wading through the Reddit thread...lol!

Smallplane tire. Likely cessna 152 or 172.

Not as deep as a wade, more like stepping in a small puddle.

Here’s how. The rudder pedals are also the brakes. If you have your feet high up on the rudder pedal and you’re trying to correct for drift and you land with a locked wheel or lock it while trying to correct a lousy landing, and you’re a lousy pilot... happens at Palo Alto all the time. They have to close the runway for a bit to get the plane off of it after the blowout. I’ve never seen it but I’ve chirped wheels before. There’s almost no feedback. Skinny little numb brakes and thin tires both for weight savings.
I’ve had passengers really hork up approaches to land before because they’re stepping on the imaginary brake pedal which happens to be the very real rudder/brake pedal. So it goes.

Nose gear tire or other? I’d imagine somebody could have nearly put the nose of that plane into the runway.

Flying is not a passtime that suffers fools gladly.

Agreed. The yearly percentage of pilots who run out of fuel while flying is a steadier universal constant than the speed of light in a vacuum.

I’m guessing other. Flynorcal has done some flying and makes a couple of good comments in this thread.

I thought learning how to fly included learning to calculate how much gas you’re gonna need. And as I understand it, the rules require you to land with some left over.

Almost all fuel starvation problems are due to people forgetting to switch tanks and have plenty of fuel left when they land. Almost all land safely too btw. It’s a management issue with the pilots forgetting steps due to whatever.

Due to dumbass.
