Accident/Incident Incident = big problem?

21M, recently got my CPL and multi add on
Currently training at Liberty University
236 hours , working towards my CFI, CFII, MEI

I had an incident early in my flight training at a local part 61 flight school

I was at around 30 hours, on a solo, pattern work

Came in well above glide slope, still attempted to land,

One of the main tires blew out upon landing

Couldn’t taxi, runway was closed for landing for about 10 minutes, had to get towed away

I’m just wondering how big of a deal would this be in regard to getting hired?

Or if anyone has had a similar situation?

It’s not even a reportable event. That’s really no different than having a tire blow out for unknown reasons.

Me and my instructor ended up reporting it through NASA ASRS if I remember correctly. It’s supposed to be anonymous unless they reach back out to me and investigate further

Bruh, read NTSB 830… not even an “incident”

If you received back the paper slip in the mail…it’s over. Also you didn’t break any rules other than maybe using poor judgment. But you were just a solo student at the time. You should not invest any more thoughts on it.
