4 A technological leader for more than a century Since 1908, Michelin has been a pioneer in the aviation industry. Today, backed by a multi-million dollar Research and Development budget, Michelin is still a driving force for innovation in aircraft tire technology with its exclusive NZG Technology. Michelin NZG Technology: The right tire changes everything TM NZG stands for Near Zero Growth because it virtually eliminates casing growth in properly inflated tires. Developed in 1999 and under continuous improvement since, MICHELIN NZG Technology represents an unrivalled technological breakthrough in radial aircraft tire design. Get superior performance with MICHELIN NZG Technology: Reduced fuel burn thanks to weight savings Reduced maintenance costs through improved Landings Per Tread and better FOD resistance results Smaller environmental footprint, as seen in the corresponding reductions in both carbon emissions and the amount of raw materials used

10 AIRCRAFT TIRE MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS The most important thing you can do to maximize the lifespan of your tires is to keep them properly inflated. Proper inflation helps: Reduce squirm tread movement during surface contact for improved landings per tread Enhance casing durability, impacting retreadability and helping reduce the potential for in-service failure Remember, operating below nominal inflation pressure can cause an aircraft tire to over-deflect. Under-inflation increases the flex of the tire which could result in overheating, abnormal tire wear, shortened tire life and possible tire failure. Be aware of temperature changes and their impact on inflation pressure: Flying from hot environments to cold environments will result in over-deflection unless a compensation is made for the decrease in pressure due to the expected drop in ambient temperature. The same drop in pressure occurs when checking pressures in a heated hangar in the winter then moving the aircraft to a colder ambient temperature. A hot tire resulting from landing/taxi will have a higher pressure than a tire checked at ambient temperature. The operator must compensate for the expected drop in pressure if a hot pressure check is required.

11 T. Merkl/Airliners.net Check frequently for foreign objects on the runway. Protect tires in storage to avoid ozone impact in grooves and on sidewalls. Slow down before turning and increase turn radius when possible. If operating procedures permit, use thrust reversers to slow the aircraft on landing rather than brakes. Please refer to the Michelin Care and Service Manual for further advice on tire maintenance.
