Inflation & Deflection Normal deflection
![Page 20: Aircraft Tire Care & Maintenance Presentation FAA IA Refresher Course 21 March 2007.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce55503460f949b2e2e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Preventive Maintenance - Inflation
![Page 21: Aircraft Tire Care & Maintenance Presentation FAA IA Refresher Course 21 March 2007.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce55503460f949b2e2e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Preventive Maintenance - InflationUnderinflation
• Accelerates shoulder tread wear• Shortens tire life due to flex heating
Overinflation • Accelerates centerline tread wear• Increases stress on wheels and landing gear
Keeping tires correctly inflated is the most important factor in any maintenance program
![Page 22: Aircraft Tire Care & Maintenance Presentation FAA IA Refresher Course 21 March 2007.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce55503460f949b2e2e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Preventive Maintenance - Inflation1. Check daily when tires are cool
− Tire/wheel can lose up to 5% per day
2. Inflate to worst conditions− 5o F temp change produces 1% pressure change
3. Use dry nitrogen gas when required− Non-combustible and non-oxidizing
4. Increase pressure 4% when loaded− Check aircraft manual for correct pressure
![Page 23: Aircraft Tire Care & Maintenance Presentation FAA IA Refresher Course 21 March 2007.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce55503460f949b2e2e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Preventive Maintenance - Inflation5. Allow 12-hour stretch after mounting
– Tires grow with initial inflation and first cycles
6. Never reduce pressure on a hot tire– Temps can rise 200oF during operation
7. Equal pressure for duals– Mate tire will share load
8. Calibrate inflation gauge regularly
![Page 24: Aircraft Tire Care & Maintenance Presentation FAA IA Refresher Course 21 March 2007.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce55503460f949b2e2e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Preventive Maintenance - InflationCheck inflation daily or before first flightIf “in service” pressure is less than minimum
(Per RMA and FAA AC 20-97B):

Preventive Maintenance - Storage
Store in a cool, dry place out of sunlight Avoid ozone generators:
• Fluorescent lights
• Electric motors and generators
• Battery chargers
Avoid exposure to contaminants Store vertically in tire racks and use FIFO Store tubes in cartons or in matching tires
• Do not hang over nails, pegs, etc.
![Page 29: Aircraft Tire Care & Maintenance Presentation FAA IA Refresher Course 21 March 2007.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce55503460f949b2e2e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Preventive Maintenance - FODForeign Object Damage (FOD)
• Airport maintenance
– Keep hanger floors clean
– Report pavement breaks and debris
• Nuts, bolts, rivets, rocks, etc. will easily cut aircraft tires
FOD is #1 cause of early tire removals
![Page 30: Aircraft Tire Care & Maintenance Presentation FAA IA Refresher Course 21 March 2007.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce55503460f949b2e2e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Foreign Object Damage (FOD) Objects removed from commercial aircraft tires
![Page 31: Aircraft Tire Care & Maintenance Presentation FAA IA Refresher Course 21 March 2007.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce55503460f949b2e2e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Before Mounting – Tire Size Tire diameters vary
• New, worn, retread, different manufacturers, etc.
• All unworn tires should meet Tire and Rim dimensions
• For example, a 6.00-6 inflated OD range is 16.8-17.5”
Replace nose tires in pairs if required by AMM
Use caution on retractable homebuilt aircraft
![Page 32: Aircraft Tire Care & Maintenance Presentation FAA IA Refresher Course 21 March 2007.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce55503460f949b2e2e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Before Mounting - Tire Sidewall Info
![Page 33: Aircraft Tire Care & Maintenance Presentation FAA IA Refresher Course 21 March 2007.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce55503460f949b2e2e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Before Mounting - Serial NumbersProvide a unique identificationGoodyear S/N’s always 8 digits
• position 1 signifies year: 5 = 2005, 1995, etc.• positions 2-4 signify day of year (Julian date)• position 5 signifies plant of manufacture• positions 6-8 are a plant numeric
Examples
• S/N 50341234 was cured February 3, 2005
![Page 34: Aircraft Tire Care & Maintenance Presentation FAA IA Refresher Course 21 March 2007.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce55503460f949b2e2e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
MountingTubeless Tires
• Check for words “Tubeless” on the tire• Torque bolts properly• Inflate to correct pressure using dry nitrogen• Check for proper bead seating at the wheel flange
– Bubbles at the wheel flange indicate poor seating
– Small bubbles at the tire vents (green dots) are normal
• Stretch tire for 12 hours, reinflate, then 24-hr test
![Page 35: Aircraft Tire Care & Maintenance Presentation FAA IA Refresher Course 21 March 2007.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce55503460f949b2e2e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
MountingInflation Loss in Tubeless Assemblies
• Valve, valve core, or valve seal• Fuse plug• Pressure release plug• O-ring seal• Wheel base and flanges• Tire
Up to 5% loss in 24 hours is acceptable
![Page 36: Aircraft Tire Care & Maintenance Presentation FAA IA Refresher Course 21 March 2007.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce55503460f949b2e2e/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Mounting Vents (a.k.a. weepholes)
• Located under the green or white dots
• Allow air trapped during building to escape
• Relieve pressure buildup in the casing
• Do not seal up over time
Up to 5% loss in 24 hours is acceptable
![Page 37: Aircraft Tire Care & Maintenance Presentation FAA IA Refresher Course 21 March 2007.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce55503460f949b2e2e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
MountingTube-Type Tires
• Do not reuse an old tube in a new tire• Lightly lubricate tube with talc• Inflate assembly to correct pressure,
deflate, and reinflate• Stretch tire for 12 hours, then reinflate• Sources of inflation loss in tube-types
– Trapped air between tire and tube– Valve core leakage– Damaged tube
Tubes can be used in tubeless tires
![Page 38: Aircraft Tire Care & Maintenance Presentation FAA IA Refresher Course 21 March 2007.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce55503460f949b2e2e/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
MountingBalancing
• Tires are balanced tighter than FAA requirements– The red dot indicates the “light spot”
– Balance pads are commonly installed at this point
– If red dot is missing, balance pad marks the light spot
• Tubeless: align wheel valve with red dot • Tube-type: align valve stem on tube with red dot
– Or align yellow stripe (if present) with red dot
![Page 39: Aircraft Tire Care & Maintenance Presentation FAA IA Refresher Course 21 March 2007.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce55503460f949b2e2e/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
MountingFactors affecting balance and vibration
• Flat-spotted tire due to wear and braking• Gear alignment• Improperly assembled tubeless tire/wheel• Improperly installed tube• Installation of assembly before full tire growth• Improperly torqued axle nut• Use of non-aircraft tubes
![Page 40: Aircraft Tire Care & Maintenance Presentation FAA IA Refresher Course 21 March 2007.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce55503460f949b2e2e/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Inspection Goodyear tires and tubes can be placed into service
regardless of age
• Provided all inspection/storage criteria are followed as provided in our C&M manual
![Page 41: Aircraft Tire Care & Maintenance Presentation FAA IA Refresher Course 21 March 2007.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce55503460f949b2e2e/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Inspection - How Do the Tires Look?
Care to Hazard a Guess?
![Page 42: Aircraft Tire Care & Maintenance Presentation FAA IA Refresher Course 21 March 2007.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56649ce55503460f949b2e2e/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Three tires are 215 psi Right front tire is 170 psi
• 45 psi low (21%)
Per FAA:• Both front tires should be removed
