PIPER PA32 PLT HAS THE NOSE TIRE FAIL ON LNDG.

Narrative

I WAS CLRED TO LAND. I PROCEEDED WITH A VISUAL APCH AND MADE A NORMAL LNDG. SHORTLY AFTER THE MAIN WHEELS TOUCHED DOWN; THE NOSEWHEEL TOUCHED DOWN NORMALLY. A FEW MOMENTS LATER; A SLIGHT VIBRATION STARTED THROUGH THE AIRPLANE. AS THE PLANE SLOWED MORE; THE VIBRATION GOT WORSE. AT AROUND 40 KIAS; IT WAS CLEAR THERE WAS A PROB. I STAYED OFF THE BRAKES AND LET THE PLANE SLOW ON ITS OWN. ONCE I CAME IN RANGE OF A TXWY LEADING OFF THE RWY; I APPLIED BRAKES TO ATTEMPT TO MAKE THE TURN; AND THE VIBRATION BECAME EXTREME; AND THE PLANE CAME TO A REST. I APPLIED A LITTLE PWR ATTEMPTING TO MAKE IT OFF ON THE TXWY. THE PWR REQUIRED TO GET THE PLANE IN MOTION AGAIN WAS TOO MUCH; AND I DECIDED THE BEST DECISION WAS TO NOT MOVE THE PLANE AGAIN. I INFORMED THE TWR CTLR THAT I WAS STUCK ON THE RWY. ATC TOLD AN RJ ON SHORT FINAL TO GO AROUND; CLOSED THE RWY; AND SENT OUT THE FIRE TRUCKS. I SHUT THE ENG DOWN; AND GOT OUT OF THE PLANE WHEN THE FIRE DEPT ARRIVED. I DISCOVERED THAT THE NOSEWHEEL HAD BLOWN OUT AND THE VIBRATION CAME FROM THE METAL AXLE ROLLING ACROSS THE RWY GRATING/GROOVES; AND OF COURSE GOT WORSE AS THE PLANE SLOWED AND MORE WEIGHT WENT TO THE NOSE GEAR. ABOUT TWENTY MINS LATER; THE PLANE WAS TUGGED OFF THE RWY AND THE RWY REOPENED. THE MAIN FACTOR THAT AFFECTED MY PERFORMANCE IN THIS SITUATION WAS THE TIGHT SCHEDULE THAT THIS PARTICULAR RUN INVOLVES. I DID GIVE THE ACFT A PREFLT EARLIER THAT DAY; BUT HAD NOT LOOKED CLOSELY AT IT AS THE DAY PROGRESSED. I AM NOT SURE OF THE REASON THAT THE TIRE BLEW OUT; OR EVEN IF I WOULD HAVE SEEN THE REASON IF I LOOKED AT IT BEFORE I LAST TOOK OFF; HOWEVER; BEFORE EACH FLIGHT FROM NOW ON; I AM GOING TO TAKE AN EXTRA MINUTE OR TWO TO WALK AROUND THE PLANE AND GIVE IT AN EXAMINATION BEFORE I JUMP IN AND CONTINUE ON A RUN.
