Description / Abstract:
This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) establishes a
procedure for disposition of aircraft wheels that have been
involved in accidents/incidents or have been exposed to overheat
conditions or overload conditions from loss of adjacent tire
pressure (paired wheels) or wheel tie bolts.
Recommendations in this document apply to main landing gear
(braked) and nose landing gear aircraft wheels, manufactured from
aluminum forgings or castings. The most common wheel material is
2014 or 2214 aluminum but other aluminum alloys are applicable to
this document such as 2030, 7049, 7050 and 356 castings.
