No fun finding a flat on one of your
aircraft tires! Especially when it
is not obvious why or when the flat occurred. A
quick inspection shows no signs of puncture or
damage. Filling it with air only keeps it alive
for about 5 minutes.
Inspecting the inner
tube requires the effort of pulling the wheel
(brakes and bearings need to come off). It
is one of those tasks you don't want to do while
away from your home base!
Watch the video
to discover the rather interesting
surprise we found inside. It may help you
avoid a similar flat tire on your
aircraft.
