Narrative:
During an aircraft commander chkride I was administering, pilot had simulated emergency. He landed 15 KTS fast with about 6000 ft remaining on the 9800 ft runway. Due to the simulated emergency, he was using asymmetric reverse on 1 side of the aircraft to decelerate. Shortly after touchdown, he applied brakes and I cautioned him to go easy. The rest of the rollout was smooth with no noticeable yawing. Holding short of runway, brakes were released and a bang was heard. We taxied clear, discovered smoke in the wheelwell on the left side. Crash crew was notified, aircraft evacuate/evacuationed due to brake fire. Possible brake malfunction, possible that pilot at controls was countering yaw from asymmetric reverse with braking on 1 side. At no time was I concerned that pilot was misusing any of the control devices, nor did he seem to be behind the aircraft. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter was flying the C130 for the military. The only damage was to a wheel, brake and tire assembly. The FAA has not gotten into this incident.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: A CHK PLT ADMITS THAT HE LET HIS STUDENT PLT LAND LONG AND HOT AND NOT USE ENOUGH REVERSING ON A C130.
Narrative: DURING AN ACFT COMMANDER CHKRIDE I WAS ADMINISTERING, PLT HAD SIMULATED EMER. HE LANDED 15 KTS FAST WITH ABOUT 6000 FT REMAINING ON THE 9800 FT RWY. DUE TO THE SIMULATED EMER, HE WAS USING ASYMMETRIC REVERSE ON 1 SIDE OF THE ACFT TO DECELERATE. SHORTLY AFTER TOUCHDOWN, HE APPLIED BRAKES AND I CAUTIONED HIM TO GO EASY. THE REST OF THE ROLLOUT WAS SMOOTH WITH NO NOTICEABLE YAWING. HOLDING SHORT OF RWY, BRAKES WERE RELEASED AND A BANG WAS HEARD. WE TAXIED CLR, DISCOVERED SMOKE IN THE WHEELWELL ON THE L SIDE. CRASH CREW WAS NOTIFIED, ACFT EVACED DUE TO BRAKE FIRE. POSSIBLE BRAKE MALFUNCTION, POSSIBLE THAT PLT AT CTLS WAS COUNTERING YAW FROM ASYMMETRIC REVERSE WITH BRAKING ON 1 SIDE. AT NO TIME WAS I CONCERNED THAT PLT WAS MISUSING ANY OF THE CTL DEVICES, NOR DID HE SEEM TO BE BEHIND THE ACFT. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR WAS FLYING THE C130 FOR THE MIL. THE ONLY DAMAGE WAS TO A WHEEL, BRAKE AND TIRE ASSEMBLY. THE FAA HAS NOT GOTTEN INTO THIS INCIDENT.
