Super Puma tyre pressures?
Hi...Is there someone out there who can confirm the correct tyre pressures in psi for the Bristow Tiger variant of the AS332L ? Asking for a friend ( museum actually). |
The "Tiger" variant was really just a 332L so the tyre pressures shouldn't be any different from a normal 332L (95psi nose wheel and 120psi main wheel from my old books.

The mainwheel tyres don't 'alf make a bang if the rim fractures.

Inflated tyres are extremely dangerous in the event of a sudden decompression. All of the energy that went into inflating them - say a compressor running for several minutes - is released instantly. If it was my museum I would not be inflating them to anywhere near the operational pressure unless the wheels and tyres were subject to flying status maintenance procedures. This is the kind of thing that should perhaps be considered. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....9b7215851a.png Good luck. |
Thanks muchly....Your advice being taken ,but just needed to know normal pressure. Usually the museum keeps its aircraft on blocks with the wheels off the ground and minimal tyre pressure but this one has to be frequently moved so need to put more air in to look good but still less than full pressure. |
If my memory serves me correctly; Main nose wheel should be 7 bar or 101.5 psi Port / Starboard wheels should be 7.2 bar each or 104.4 psi Best wishes for 2019 to everyone. |
