Narrative:
I landed and had a flat right main tire. I was unable to exit the runway. It took approximately 1 hour to clear the runway. The issue is that when speaking to the FAA inspector he asked for my registration. I explained that I have been waiting for the FAA to send it; but they are backed up. It has been a very frustrating experience. The pink form 8050-1 states; 'pending receipt of the certificate of aircraft registration; the aircraft may be operated for a period not in excess of 90 days; during which time the pink copy of this application must be carried in the aircraft.' upon advice of the inspector; I called FAA and they explained that I should not have been operating the aircraft. That section does not apply. I have not gotten an explanation why if the form says I can operate then why can I not? This is very confusing and it is exacerbated by the difficult process of getting my registration. If I operated the aircraft when I shouldn't have then the pink form needs to be changed. I don't think there is any interpretation other than the one that the form states very clearly. I truly believed that I was operating legally. My mechanic is changing the tire tomorrow and he might have an explanation for the blown tube. I don't know if I ran over anything on takeoff or on the landing.
