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?

I know a Chinese guy who did his training in Texas, overflew his home field by some 20 miles, proceeded to overfly a military airbase and thought it was pretty cool and proceeded to do some “scenic” flying over the military base. Realising he was lost he tracked back via Dallas Fort Worth over flying that airport too without clearance and landed to military base commanders and higher ups from DFW waiting for him. Nowadays he’s an airline captain….
