START A TASK ON OR NEAR:
- THE FLIGHT CONTROLS
- THE FLIGHT CONTROL SURFACES
- THE LANDING GEAR AND THE RELATED DOORS
- COMPONENTS THAT MOVE.
WARNING : MAKE SURE THAT THE GROUND SAFETY-LOCKS ARE IN POSITION ON THE LANDING
_______
GEAR.
WARNING : LET THE BRAKES AND THE WHEELS BECOME COOL BEFORE YOU GO NEAR THE
_______
LANDING GEAR. DO NOT APPLY A LIQUID OR GAS FIRE EXTINGUISHER DIRECTLY
ON A HOT WHEEL OR BRAKE UNIT. THIS COULD CAUSE AN EXPLOSION.
CAUTION : IF A TIRE OVERSPEED (TIRE SPEED ABOVE THE LIMIT SPECIFIED BY THE TIRE
_______
MANUFACTURER) OCCURS DURING A TAKEOFF OR A LANDING, YOU MUST
IMMEDIATELY:
- REMOVE THE TIRES FROM THE AIRCRAFT, AND
- SEND THEM BACK TO THE TIRE MANUFACTURER TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE
SERVICEABLE.
ON A318, A319, A320 AND A321 AIRBUS AIRCRAFT, THE LIMIT SPEED IS 225
MPH (195 KTS).

(1) On each main gear wheel, examine the drive shroud of the tachometer.
(2) Make sure that there are no cracks on the wheel rims.
(4) Make sure that the valve thread is not damaged. Fully tighten the
valve cap which seals the valve from dirt and leaks.

(1) Make sure that the aircraft tires are in the correct condition to
R continue to operate on the aircraft.
R Make sure that the tires:
R - have no air leaks,
R - have no friction damage,
R - are worn equally,
R - have no cuts and flat spots.
R Remove the wheel when the tire is worn to the base of any groove in
R one or more points, or if you can see any reinforcing material
R (metal or fabric).
(2) Make sure that the tire pressure is in the specified limits
(Ref. TASK 32-41-00-210-003).
(4) Remove the wheel when the tire shows signs of a tread bulge (make a
mark on the bulge before you deflate the tire) (Ref. TASK 32-41-11-
000-006) (Ref. TASK 32-41-11-400-006) or (Ref. TASK 32-41-12-000-001)

(5) If the tread is not worn equally and 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)).
(6) If you find tread wear on the shoulder of the tire, inflate the tire
to the nominal inflation pressure plus 10 per cent.
CAUTION : MAKE SURE THAT THE INCREASED PRESSURE IS NOT MORE THAN THE
_______
RATED PRESSURE OF THE TIRE (SEE THE VENDOR MANUAL).
NOTE : This 10 per cent increase gives the new maximum of the Normal
____
Operating Range (N.O.R.) and not a new Nominal Pressure
(P.N.).
Example: For a Nominal Pressure of 200 PSI, the maximum of the
N.O.R. becomes 220 PSI.
Subtask 32-41-00-210-060
(b) Over inflation (when the tire pressure is more than 105% of the
nominal pressure (Refer to table of pressure) (Ref. TASK 32-41-
00-210-003) can:
- cause too much wear on the center of the tire tread,
- increase the risk of Foreign Object Damage (FOD) to the tire.
