One of the most important things to keep in mind
is to thoroughly inspect the tires before placing in
service and they should not be stored for greater than
12 months without re-inspection
To keep up with all the maintenance requirements
for aircraft tires, the Michelin team provides training
Aircraft tires are exposed to extreme speeds, loads,
temperatures and pressures during all phases of use.
Unlike passenger car tires that need grooves to evacuate
water, aircraft tires can be worn down to the bottom of
the grooves with minimal loss of performance.
on all levels of operations: pilots, technicians, engineers, procurement, airframes, government entities
and more. "This training is provided through several
platforms such as on-site seminars, aircraft user
PA
conventions, Technical Conferences and online digital
content," Boyle added.
Tires are an important component in aviation,
therefore technicians must stay up-to-date on all the
latest maintenance requirements, proper training and
trends that are continually evolving.
"The trend for tires continues to be driven more
toward radial products over bias due to several factors, including fuel savings from reduced tire weight,
durability and maintenance improvements, all without sacrificing safety. For instance, a radial Michelin
tire typically provides 15 percent weight savings, 60
percent to 100 percent more landings and a 50 percent
decrease in FOD removals over a comparable bias tire."
Michelin has recently launched a new General
Aviation tire line-Michelin Pilot, optimized for piston, turboprop and private jets. For more tire safety
