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.
