Narrative:

While making an approach to runway 11L at bjc, my altitude was high and speed excessive for the planned stop-and-go maneuver. After adjusting both the altitude and speed to land the aircraft farther from the touchdown point than anticipated, excessive braking was used in an attempt to stop the aircraft with enough runway to continue the maneuver. During the excessive braking the right main landing gear tire locked up and proceeded to skid along the surface. This skidding eventually wore through both the tire and the inner tube, resulting in a loss of air pressure (blowout). The correct decision should have been to complete a full stop, without excessive brake use, with the more than adequate remaining runway.

Title: STUDENT PLT OF A C172 BLEW TIRE DURING LNDG DUE TO EARLY HARD BRAKING AFTER LNDG TOUCHDOWN.

Narrative: WHILE MAKING AN APCH TO RWY 11L AT BJC, MY ALT WAS HIGH AND SPD EXCESSIVE FOR THE PLANNED STOP-AND-GO MANEUVER. AFTER ADJUSTING BOTH THE ALT AND SPD TO LAND THE ACFT FARTHER FROM THE TOUCHDOWN POINT THAN ANTICIPATED, EXCESSIVE BRAKING WAS USED IN AN ATTEMPT TO STOP THE ACFT WITH ENOUGH RWY TO CONTINUE THE MANEUVER. DURING THE EXCESSIVE BRAKING THE R MAIN LNDG GEAR TIRE LOCKED UP AND PROCEEDED TO SKID ALONG THE SURFACE. THIS SKIDDING EVENTUALLY WORE THROUGH BOTH THE TIRE AND THE INNER TUBE, RESULTING IN A LOSS OF AIR PRESSURE (BLOWOUT). THE CORRECT DECISION SHOULD HAVE BEEN TO COMPLETE A FULL STOP, WITHOUT EXCESSIVE BRAKE USE, WITH THE MORE THAN ADEQUATE REMAINING RWY.
