During the recent uncertainty regarding aircraft tire availability, some operators have purchased extra tires to keep in inventory. It is crucial to follow best practices during storage to prevent tire distortion.
During a maintenance event at Duncan Aviation, we observed that two main tires on a Falcon aircraft wobbled when spun, indicating tire distortion.
As a reminder, the Dassault Falcon Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) 32-44-00-220-801 provides guidance on tire storage, including proper environment and orientation. Horizontal storage is preferred for mounted wheel-tire combinations, while vertical storage is preferable for unmounted tires.
