A SEAir South East Asian LET L-410, registration RP-C2928 performing flight DG-705 from Manila to Caticlan (Philippines) with no passengers and 3 crew, burst the (sole) left hand main gear tyre while landing on Caticlan's runway and came to a stand still about half way down the runway. No injuries occured, the airplane did not receive damages beyond the burst tyre, but was stuck on the runway.

The airport had to be closed until a new tyre was brought in and the airplane could be moved off the runway 7 hours later. 16 flights diverted to Kalibo Airport or were cancelled.

The Civil Aviation Authority of Philippines (CAAP) released a summary concluding the probable cause of the incident was:

The Aircraft Accident Investigation and Inquiry Board determined that the probable cause of this accident was the wind coming from the right at 13-20 Knots and the aircraft being very light it bounced and the floated on the first touchdown and on the second touchdown with the top rudder being applied to maintain alignment before touchdown with the runway, it was very probable that the left brake was tapped which subsequently chopped the tire as evidence by the smoke emitting from it. There after a very solid left tire mark was very evident at the left tire track on the runway surface.

The AAIB released three safety recommendations:
-Pilot Flying should have his heels on the floor to preclude inadvertent brake application upon touchdown.
- Threshold speeds shall be computed based on the actual landing weight of the aircraft and not on the speeds printed on the Aircraft Operational Manual which is usually based on the heaviest landing weight of the aircraft.
- Pilot Flying (PF) and Pilot Non-Flying (PNF) shall be lectured on the brake system of the Let-410 and its operation.
