While the Advance Air Charter aircraft was taxiing out for take-off on a charter flight from Calgary, Alberta, to Murmansk, Russia, two diagonally-opposite main wheel tires on the left side failed. The flight crew were not aware of the failure and proceeded to take off. During the take- off, the flight engineer reported low power on the No. 1 engine. After the aircraft became airborne, air traffic control advised the crew that rubber was found on the runway. Fuel was dumped, and the flight returned for a successful emergency landing. There were no injuries to the crew or passengers. The Board determined that the No. 2 tire deflated while the aircraft was taxiing as a result of a wheel rim separation caused by an undetected fatigue crack. The No. 5 tire was punctured by a broken section of the No. 2 wheel rim. As a result of ineffective communications, the crew continued the take-off in an aircraft with two failed tires on the left side. Contributing to the ineffective crew communications was the lack of crew resource management training provided by the operator.
