I flew a 200 for 15 years and have seen my share of flat spotted mains. I have seen a few flattened mains as well.

There but for the Grace of God, etc., I personally flat spotted a couple or a few during my tenure but I never deflated any. I remember seeing a news article wherein the State of Virginia blew all four landing at DCA with the Governor on board.

Those little high pressure tires are just easy to lock up and require care and a delicate touch. It is the nature of the beast.

I teach my students heals on floor for landing to avoid any chance of brake on the landing transition. Small tires strong brakes, easy skid. Cheers.
FSI's C12 instructor's trained me on the same rule. Great pilots, every one of them.

2500 feet @1000 msl @100*F? Not sure if thats even doable. Might want to check the book on that one. Not for me after 6 years in the 350.
