The pilot of a Eurofighter Typhoon has reported to tower of a possible puncture to one of his wheels of his landing gear. This still needs to be visually confirmed but what exactly are the pilots options?

First and foremost, the pilot needs to contact tower. Depending on traffic and what is in the circuit, tower keeps the emergency Typhoon in the circuit at 1000ft and tries to locate a Typhoon that can carry out a visual inspection. This is pretty much the only way to get a visual inspection of the suspected puncture. Tower locates two Typhoons on recovery but one is on minimum fuel but the other has enough fuel to carry out the visual inspection. You will see the two Typhoons from XI (F) squadron with our inspecting aircraft on initial and into the break. Callsign RAZOR, goes into the break and carefully gets behind our emergency Typhoon and carries out a careful visual inspection.

Now the outcome of this could have been a disaster as this involved a punctured wheel, however, for what ever reason, then landing gear was fine. What made the pilot think the tyre had a puncture? Was it a harsh touch and go? Was it a slow puncture from before take off? Whatever the reason, all ENDED WELL!
