When to rotate a wheel assembly?
The CAA-UK has recently audited us and requires that our MOE state when wheel assemblies in the stores are to be rotated and to record same. Can anyone provide a reference to a regulation behind such a request- I've tried the obvious - Tyre manufacturers, AMM's, etc?
Thanks vey much

I don't have them to hand but try CAA CAP562 (Civil Aircraft Airworthiness Information and Procedures). I seem to remember - in the old ones at least - a section on tyre storage. You can download these from the CAA website.

Exactly, it refers to tyres, not built up wheel Assemblies. We store our wheel assemblies at working pressure, so rotating them would make no difference what so ever.
If you've been stupid enough to put it in your MOE, then you've got to comply with it.....
