TIRES - SERVICING
1. Tires
A. The King Air 90 Series airplanes are equipped with tubeless rim-inflated tires on the landing gear as noted:
Table 301. Main Landing Gear
TIRE SIZE AIRPLANE SERIAL AIR PRESSURE
8.50 X 10 8-Ply or 10-Ply LJ-1 thru LJ-1137 and LJ-1146 8-Ply at 55 ± 3 psi 10-Ply at 70 ± 3 psi
Monitor tire wear and adjust the
pressure as necessary to minimize
wear on main gear tires.
8.50 X 10 10-Ply LJ-1138 thru LJ-1145 and LJ-1147 and
After; LW-1 and After
Table 302. Nose Landing Gear
TIRE SIZE AIRPLANE SERIAL AIR PRESSURE
6.50 X 10 6-Ply LJ-1 and After and LW-1 and After 53 ± 2 Pounds.
CAUTION: Tires that have picked up a fuel, hydraulic fluid, or oil film should be washed down as soon as
possible with a detergent solution to prevent deterioration of the rubber.
B. Maintaining proper tire inflation will help to avoid damage from landing shock or contact with sharp stones and ruts, and
will minimize tread wear. When inflating the tires, inspect for cuts, cracks, breaks and tread wear. The pressure of a
serviceable tire that is fully inflated should not drop more than 5% over a 24-hour period.
CAUTION: Recapped tires have a tendency to swell as a result of the increased temperature generated during
takeoff. Increased tire size can jeopardize proper function of the landing gear retract system, with the
possibility of damage to the landing gear doors and retract mechanism. While Hawker Beechcraft
Corporation cannot recommend the use of recapped tires, tires retreaded by an FAA approved repair
station with a specialized service-limited rating in accordance with the latest version of TSO-C62 may
be used.
C. Check the tires daily for proper inflation on airplanes performing more than one flight a day. Other airplanes should be
checked before each flight and at least once a week. Tire pressure should be checked only when the tires are cool;
consequently, wait at least two hours (three hours in hot weather) after a flight before checking tire pressure.
