GIV nose wheel excessive noise on take off
Hi
any GIV pilots around?
During take off roll the nose wheel is veeery noisy ( hard to hear callouts noisy..) And after gear retraction we can hear the wheel spinning fast for a minute or so inside the wheel well.
Did any body encounter this in a GIV? Considered normal? Other pilots in the company and mechanics can’t say for sure..

No GIV specific knowledge, but after take off isn't the nosewheel braked by a snubber or somesuch on retraction into the wheel well?
Is the snubber worn/missing?

My ancient experience with GII and GIII it was common to have rumble as the nose-wheel was quite small for the usual forward C of G and went out of true quite quickly; we did explore having a balancing rig; usually spinning it on the axle, if no flat spots and if the wheel stopped consistently at one point then a balance weight re-distribution; a repack of grease and torque worked for a while longer. After retraction it should be snubbed but these also had wear and no re lining, though Marshals of Cambridge did devise a repair scheme for this circa mid 1990's.
