Interesting flight

[Catalo]

So today and tonight I made a flight kdpa to keye back to kdpa under the hood for ifr training. About half way back the alternator light in the Seminole turns on. Alright so my instructor takes controls and I run through the check list. Good news! My alternator is back. Now we're back at kdpa. I land the plane, a little rough but nothing to bad. About 3 quarters of the way down the runway to our exit the plane pulls hard left. I killed throttles and stop the plane. My instructor takes over and get us back on center line while the plane is shaking pretty bad. Turns out our nose wheel had gone flat at some point during roll out. Otherwise it was a good uneventful flight. But very glad my instructor was there. Good learning experience.

Sounds like MX is an issue in that bird..... May be worth an early annual at a diff. Shop

Maybe, but I can't rule out coincidence. There is no connection between a tire and an alternator.

Two doesn't make a trend.

Not sure whether the alternator failure was simulated by the CFII. The OP did not elaborate.
