Spare Tubes/Tires
This is a good reminder to carry a spare tube and tire, for the mains at least. On a recent flight I had a blow out shortly after landing in a remote field in Kentucky. We had to scramble to find one and almost got stuck there for days. Gratefully, another P337G pilot had a spare and his plane was undergoing a long annual, he sold it to me for cost. The A/P said it was the only one in the whole state.
Going forward, I will carry a spare for the mains. Am told the nosewheel is much more common.
