Visual Inspection of the Wheels NOTE : it is necessary to replace the tires if the speed rating specified “3 by the tires manufacturer is exceeded . On each main gear wheel, examine the drive shroud of the tachoneter. Nake sure that there are no cracks on the wheel rims. Make sure that there are no Leaks on the valves. Make sure that the valve thread is not damaged. Fully tighten the valve cap which seals the valve from dirt and Leaks. If there are paint marks on the wheel/tire assembly, make sure that the position of the tire related to the wheel is the same. Subtask 32-41-00-210-071 B. Visual Inspection of the Tires a @ @ Make sure that the aircraft tires are in the correct condition to continue to operate on the aircraft: = make sure that there are no air leaks, - make sure that there is no damage by friction, - make sure that they are worn equally, - make sure that there are no cuts and flat spots, = remove the wheel when the tire is worn to the base of any groove in ary location or if you can see any reinforcing material (metal or fabric). NOTE : Refer to the Limits for the use of the tires. They are related to the type and make of the tire. Make sure that the tire pressure is in the specified Limits (Ref. TASK 32-41-00-210-003). Obey the tire mixability precautions (Ref.

TASK 32-41-11- 000-006) (Ref. TASK 32-41-11-400-006) or (Ref. TASK 32-41-12-000-001) (Ref. TASK 32-41-12-400-001)- (5) If the tread is not worn equally, make sure that the wheels are aligned correctly (if it is necessary remove the wheel and put it on the opposite axle (Ref. TASK 32-41-11-000-006) (Ref. TASK 32-41-11 400-006) or (Ref. TASK 32-41-12-000-001) (Ref. TASK 32-41-12-400- 001)). If you find tread wear on the shoulder of the tire, inflate the tire to the nominal inflation pressure plus 10 per cent. NOTE : This 10 per cent increase gives the new maximum of the Normal Operating Range (N.O.R.) and not a new Nominal Pressure (PND Example: For a Nominal Pressure of 200 PSI, the maximum of the N.O.R. becomes 220 PSI.

See Pressure Table : (Ref. TASK 32-41-00-210-003) If tires are not inflated sufficiently = = their shoulders wear too much, = too much flex heating can occur (2) Worn Beyond Limits If the tire is worn to the reinforcing material (metal or fabric), you must remove the tire and the retreader must inspect it. (3) Tread rubber reversion (usually caused by a wet or icy runway). You can see this condition when there is an oval area in the tread. It is almost the same as a skid but the rubber shows signs of burns. You must remove the tire if damage extends to or into the reinforcing material, of if the out-of-balance is not satisfactory. ere AL 32-41-00 rece ois May 01/05 Printed in France@A320/A321 AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUAL (4) Thrown tread If a tire loses part or all of its tread to the tread fabric ply Remove the two wheel assemblies on the same axle, Send them to the workshop for an inspection or for repairs. If there is only one replacement tire, you must measure the pressure of the defective tire. If the pressure decreases less than 20% of the average pressure of the other tires on the aircraft = the connected tire on the same axle can stay serviceable = when the aircraft goes back to base, remove the connected tire. (5) Peeled rib This condition usually starts with a cut in the tread. This causes a circumferential delamination of a tread rib, fully or partially from the tread fabric ply. You must remove the tire. (6) Fabric fraying The tread frays or breaks on the ply at the base of the tread groove. You must remove the tire. (7) Open tread splice There is an opening in the angle tread splice across one or more tread ribs. You must remove the tire. (8) Cuts These are cuts which extend across more than 50% of a rib and deeper than 50% of the remaining groove depth. You must remove the tire if you can see any reinforcing material. (9) Tread flaking and chipping You can see this condition when thin pieces of rubber chip or flake from the section of tread which wears. You must remove the tire. (10) Tread broken away You can see this condition when there are pock marks in the section of the treads which wears. You must remove the tire if you can see any reinforcing material. (11) Chevron cutting Cross grooves on runway surfaces can cause a pattern of chevron=shaped cuts in the center of a tire tread. As long as this condition does not cause chunking of cuts into the reinforcing material, the tire is correct for continued service. You must remove the tire if the chevron cuts extend across more than 50% of a rib and are deeper than 50% of the remaining groove depth. DAL 32-41-00 rose cx May 01/05 Printed in France@A320/A321 AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUAL (12) Blister or bulges You must remove a tire with a separation of the structure in the tread or in the sidewall and send it to the retreader. (13) Groove crak ing You must remove the tire and send it to the retreader if you can see the reinforcing material through the crack at the bottom of the tread groove. (14) Cuts below the rib You must remove the tire and send it to the retreader if you can see cuts that extend below the tread rib. (15) Circumferential cracks or radial cracks You must remove the tire and send it to the retreader if you can see the reinforcing material through cracks in the sidewall of the shoulder area of the tire. (16) Ozone and weather checking You must remove the tire and send it to the retreader if you can see the reinforcing material through cracks caused by weather deterioration. (17) Skid/Flat Spot This is a flat spot on the tire wear - You must remove the tire if it is worn to the base of any groove. Subtask 32-41-00-210-052 D. Tire Utilization Limits (MICHELIN) (Ref.

You must remove the tires when the tread has worn to the base of any groove at any spot. You must remove the tires worn to the fabric in the tread area regardless of the tread remaining. Uneven Tread Wear If tread wear is excessive on one side, you can remove the tire and turn it around, if you cannot see the fabric. Gear misalignment which causes this condition must be corrected. Tread Cuts Make an inspection of the tread for cuts and other foreign object damage and make a mark with crayon or chalk. Follow the removal criteria below : = Any cuts into the reinforcing material. = Cuts that extend more than half of the width of a rib and deeper than 50% of the remaining groove depth. Sidewall/Bead Damage Remove tire from service if weather checking, cracking, cuts and snags extend down to a carcass ply in the sidewall and bead areas. Cuts and cracks into the plies cause the tire to be scrapped. Bulges Bulges in a part of tire tread, sidewall or bead areas indicate a separation or damaged tire. Make a mark with crayon and remove from service immediately. Fabric Fraying/Groove Cracking You must remove the tires from service if groove cracking exposes fabric or if cracking undercuts tread ribs. mL 32-41-00 ose ca: May 01/05 Printed in France@A320/A321 AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUAL (7) Flat Spots Usually, tires need not be removed because of flat spots due to skid of hydroplane burns unless you can see the fabric.
