INTRODUCTION
• AN INCIDENT HAPPEN WHERE THE CRITERIA FOR TYRE
REJECTION WAS NOT MEET DUE TO 2 DIFFERENT OPINION ON
TYRE WEAR PATTERN.
• AS A RESULT THE A/C WAS DELAYED IN THE MORNING DUE TO

TIRE REPLACEMENT WAS DONE IN THE MORNING BEFORE
THE A/C DEPARTURE.

OPTIONAL SOLUTION
• ENGINEERS ARE RE-EDUCATE ON THE STANDARD OF TYRE
REJECTION CRITERIA.
• ENGINEERS ARE GIVEN SAMPLE PICTURES OF TYRE REJECTION
CRITERIA.
• MEMO SEND TO ALL ENGINEERS AND TECHNICIANS ON THE
TYRE REJECTION CRITERIA.
•
GENERAL CONSTRUCTION

AW 139 NOSE AND MAIN WHEELS-TIRES-DETAILS INSPECTION
REFERENCE: AW 139 IETP 39-A-32-41-00-00A-31AB-A
1.CHEVRON CUTTING
• Chevron cutting occur during “wheel spin-up”
landing on a runway which has cross groove
cuts. Replace the tires with chevron cuts if
 The fabric in view is more than 700 mm2(1.0 in2)
 The chevron cuts area is more than the thread
footprint
 The chevron cut continues below a tread rib
• If the damages beyond the limit given replace
the tires. Follow procedures in IETP.

2. THREAD CHUNKING
• The thread chunk occurs during aircraft tight turn,
fast taxiing speeds, or during operations on
runways which have hard rough or unprepared
surface. Replace the tires with tread chunks if
 You can see more than 700 mm2 (1.0 in2) of tread
chunk on a tread rib
 The fabric in view is more than 700 mm2 (1.0 in2)
 The tread chunk damage continues below a tread
rib
• If the damages beyond the limit given replace the
tires. Follow procedures in IETP.

3. CUT DAMAGE
• Unwanted objects caught on the runway surface
can caused tread or sidewall cuts on tires. Replace
the damaged tires if
 The cuts are into the tire case plies
 The cuts have a depth in the tread which is 50%
or more than the tread depth in that time
 The cuts are more than 35mm (1.4in) or 50% of
each tread rib
 You can see the casing cords when you try to
open the cut
• It is possible to repair small cuts in the casing
plieas before re-tread procedure of the damaged
tire. Send the tire with small cuts to the
authorized supplier for the inspection and repair.
• If the damages that you find are more than the
given limits, replace the tires.
4.DRY BRAKING FLATS

• A very strong brakes or locked wheels on the dry
runways surface cause flat marks areas on the tire
tread. Replace the damage tires if
 The tire has a flat mark area whose wear is more
than the permitted wear limit
 The tread wear area or areas cause shimmy or
balance problens to the related wheel.
• If the damages that you find are beyond limit,
replace the tires.

5.WET BRAKING FLATS

• Aquaplaning effects during landing or operations
on the wet runways surface cause flat marks on
the tire trad. These damages have less depth that
those on dry runway surface. Replace the
damaged if
 The tire has a flat mark area whose wear is more
than the permitted wear limit
 The tread wear area or areas cause shimmy or
balance problems to the related wheel
• If the damages that you found beyond the limit,
replace the tires.

6.BULGES (TIRE FAILURE)

• Bulges on tread or sidewall of tires show a
separation of the tire components. A fast taxiing
condition for a long time or a low tire inflation
increase the tire temperature which causes bulge
damage. If you find bulge on tire
 Remove the damaged tire immediately
 Make a mark on the found bulges with an
applicable crayon
 Send the tire to authorized supplier for
inspection

7.SHOULDER WEAR
• The ground operations with a low tire
inflation cause shoulder worn areas. Too
much deflection of the tire sidewall increases
tire temperature whose result is the tire
component separation or tire burst. Replace
the damaged tires if
 You found the tire in low inflation condition
(pressure decreases below the permitted
limit)
 The tire wear is more than the permitted
wear limit.

8.TIRE BURST (TIRE FAILURE)

• Unwanted objects on the runways and the
low inflation tire condition during fast taxiing
for a long time can cause a dangerous tire
burst. These operations increase the fatigue
rate in the tires. Replace the related tire/tires
which have burst damage. On landing gear
which has two wheels in pairs, replace 2 tires
at the same time.

9.LATERAL SCORING
• Landing during a strong cross wind gusts,
cause scoring and striations across the tire
tread. The tire gets the same damage during
tight turns. This damage can cause tear areas
between the tread and its support. These tear
areas let separation of tire components
during its operative life.
• Replace the related tire/tires which have too
large tread chunking or undercutting of tread
ribs.

10.SIDEWALL CRACKING
• Too much deflection of the tire sidewall or the
tire ageing causes pread cracks on the
sidewall. You can see this type of damage on
tires which had an incorrect storage
condition. When tires are in service, this
damage occurs because the aircraft is parked
under sun rays very often without applicable
protections.
• Replace the damage tire only if you can see
fabric cords through the cracks in the
sidewall.

11.TREAD GROOVE CRACKING

• The tread groove cracks occur in high stressed
tires. The aircraft movement with low
inflation tire condition is one of the causes of
that damage. Also the fuel or grease
contamination of tire can cause tread groove
cracks. Replace the damage if
 You can see fabric cords through the cracks
 The cracks goes into undercutting of the
adjacent tread rib

12. EXCESSIVE BRAKE HEAT

• The brake high-temperature, interchanged
metal by metal, can damage the tire in the
areas adjacent the wheel rim flange. Replace
the tire if
 The tire shows blisters on the bead rubber
 The tire bead rubber shows large blue or
brittle areas
 The tire bead area shows melted rubber

13.OPEN TREAD JOIN

• Replaced the tire/tires which show an open
tread joint or splice. Replace the tires if
 The open tread splice is not more than
3mm(0.11in) on the circumferential tread
surface
 The depth of an open splice is not more than
1mm (0.039in) measured on a tread point.
