Care and MaintenanceExamination and Recommended Action

Tread

IMPACT BREAK

POSSIBLE CAUSES

For bias tires, FOD and shock bursts are typically identified by diamond or X-shaped ruptures of the tread and carcass sustained by rolling over foreign objects. The photograph shows a damaged tire restored to its original shape and the cause of the failure being investigated.

RECOMMENDATION

Remove the tire from the aircraft.

Should FOD burst occur, completely collect scattered fragments of the tire to allow for a thorough investigation.
