Are you TYRED?
A recent (July) article in Flyer by Miles McCallum on tyres raised the profile of something that I regret I have taken for granted for most of my flying career, and that is tyre pressure.
It made me realise that I do not know what the pressure should be on ANY of the 6 types I regularly fly (from Katana to Navajo).
The article also made the point that some POH's reccommend daily checks, and that the pressure should be within 5% of the correct value. Needless to say this also has insurance implications in the event of a prang.
I can remember being taught that a visual inspection should be made, and have it checked 'if it doesn't look right'. But how do you do that on grass?
Am I alone in my ignorance?
