Aircraft Tire Flatspotting

Aircraft Tire Flatspotting: This term describes two conditions: (1) A localized accelerated wear condition associated with landings. (2) A temporary or permanent “out-of-round” condition resulting from a loaded hot tire having not rotated while cooling to the ambient temperature. This condition is most prevalent on bias nylon tires due to the “plastic memory” of the [...]
