B-727 ACFT TIRE DAMAGED DURING TXWY EXCURSION IN A NIGHT OP.

Narrative

CLRED RWY AT HIGH SPD AND MADE TOO TIGHT A TURN TO TXWY. FO POINTED OUT THAT WE WERE TOO FAR L. CORRECTED AND TAXIED IN. POST FLT INSPECTOR REVEALED A CUT TIRE. TURN OFF AREA WAS POORLY LIGHTED. TXWY EDGE LIGHTS (APPARENTLY TEMPORARILY) WERE ON ONE SIDE ONLY AND SOME LOOKED MORE GREEN THAN BLUE. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 268650: CAPT CLRED RWY 22 ON HIGH SPD TURNOFF C. TURNING ONTO INNER TXWY MAY HAVE HIT A TEMPORARY TAXI LIGHT. AREA WAS RECENTLY PAVED; HAS TEMPORARY LIGHTS. ONE LIGHT LOOKED GREEN AND MAY HAVE CAUSED HIM TO VEER TOWARDS WRONG LIGHTS. SPOT LIGHTS ON HANGAR MAKE YELLOW TAXI LINES HARD TO SEE. BOTH FO AND SO SAW PROB SIMULTANEOUSLY AND CALLED R TURN TO TXWY CTR. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 268937: THERE ALSO WERE NOT ANY CTR TXWY LIGHTS; AS WITH THE OTHER TXWYS AT LGA. THE CAPT HAD A HARD TIME DIFFERENTIATING BTWN THE TEMPORARY LIGHTS AND OVERTURNED. OUR L TIRE CLIPPED A LIGHT AS WE REALIZED THE TEMPORARY LIGHTS WERE NOT CTRLINE LIGHTS. HUMAN FACTORS: LATE AT NIGHT; POOR VISIBILITY; PLT FATIGUE. HAD FLOWN FOR OVER 12 HRS THAT DAY. CORRECTIVE ACTION: TEMPORARY LIGHTS OR TXWYS THAT ARE DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHERS ON THE AIRFIELD SHOULD BE NOTAMED AND WELL LIT.
