A tire tread depth gauge is a tool used to measure how worn out a tire is. You can buy a tire tread depth gauge at an auto parts store. How to use a tire tread depth gauge Find the shallowest groove in the tread Insert the gauge's probe into the groove Press the gauge's shoulders flat against the tread block Read the measurement on the gauge What do the measurements mean? 5/32 in or more: Your tires are in good condition 3/32 in-4/32 in: Your tires are starting to wear down and you should consider replacing them 2/32 in or less: Your tires need to be replaced immediately. For your kind information they don’t use coins to gauge if the tire is worn out.
Technicians use a a 6 inch scale. Line of sight is good measure. After all on an overnight check (RON) you want the airplane to fly the day without having a delay for tire change.
Missing several steps ! -You pin the gears -Verify tire pressure on the new tire - inspect the new tire(make sure is assembled correctly) -clean and inspect the aircraft axle for any damage on the sleeve and brake rotors -Then install and toque the tire . -lubricate the ax
First step is to print up the maintenance manual and have it with you when doing the job. You also forgot to install landing gear pins. One more thing letting the nitrogen out of the wheel (for safety reasons).
I've changed enough of those tires I used a tire depth gage and a visual inspection of the multi disc brakes and sometimes had to replace that to very heavy.
Aircraft maintenance technicians (AMTs). Do not use a coin. They gauge the tires using a specific gauge. And many airlines change the tires on overnight checks (RON) before they reach the limits to avoid having to change them during the day and causing a delay.
Maybe if you had some sort of a drive system that would drive those tires to keep them from wearing out so quickly when they hit the ground... In other words if you're coming in at 100 mph make sure those tires are spinning at 100 mph before you touch the ground here's your key word Sherlock before you touch the ground not while you're on the ground... You think maybe that might save some wear and tear on those tires??? And don't tell me it can't be done if you can make an electric car and drive faster than a sports car you can do that too
You don’t change “sets”. For example the Airbus A321 you only change the work tires. Sometimes you’ll find 2 or more main tires worn. Or both nose tires. If the 321 arrives with low air pressure or one of the tires flat then you change both on same gear.
Yeah, and it can take up to 2 hours plus and the plane won't take off; even with passengers on board until that tire is changed. I do love Southwest Airlines. 😊
But what if you instal an electro motor than spin up the wheel just before touch down. And that has the right rpm that is synchrone to the landing speed. I think it makes the landing smoother and the tires will last much longer.
Most pneumatic tyres usually have a built in wear marker to know when it's unsafe. Also, the fasteners must be tightened per the manufacturer specification by proper torquing measures!?
Why don’t they have an impeller on each wheel so that when they are lowered they start spinning, so that when they touch down they are spinning the same speed as the plane? It would then stop all the burning of rubber and the tyres lasting longer.
In the Air Force on fighter jets they wear them down to the 3rd layer of cords! Just so you know when you’ve hit the 3rd layer of cords they are red! Once you hit the red cords you change the tire!
Ethan visited Madame Luna, seeking answers. "How will I die?" he asked. Madame Luna's piercing gaze unsettled him. "A tire will kill you... soon." Fearing the city's chaotic streets, Ethan fled to the mountains, escaping the relentless traffic. "No cars, trucks or buses here," he thought, breathing easier. Thirty days passed. One morning, Ethan strolled beneath clear skies. Suddenly, a dark speck grew larger. A plane's tire plummeted, striking him with deadly precision. Madame Luna's prophecy had been eerily accurate. Ethan's attempt to cheat fate proved futile.
What's the matter is a tire depth gauge too expensive to use ? You know they come in metric measurements now, some even have US & metric measurements on them.
Airbus use cooling brake fans in wheel assembly. But you can change tire within about 30 Minutes. Airlines have carts set up with tire, jack and tools.
I doubt it they use a coin to measure the thread.. am a truck driver and I used a thread caliper instead of a coin... Is that why I've seen too many bad landing incidents???😮😮
No. Too dangerous to risk a $30 Million aircraft on worn out parts. Tyres like all aircraft parts have finite life cycles determined by hours or number of landings.
With the new standards, a coin is built into the tread. When you can clearly read, only .5 cents left,on the outer edge of the coin, that's when they change it 😮
If you are changing the tire yes start deflating before removing. If you’re changing the brake leave tire inflated. Because once you deflate the tire you cannot reinforce. The bead could have briken and that tire will Blow out. You use nitrogen only. Less corrosive and won’t explode
You guide a main wheel over the splines of the brake assembly. Then release the brakes spin and torque the axle nut. You actually over torque then back off and retorque to proper setting. Over torque to set the bearings
BULL. Nobody uses a coin, even on car tires. The top of Lincoln's head on a penny is 2/32 from the edge. That is minimum tread on a car tire. BUT, modern tires have wear bars that tell you when the tread is too thin.
Instead of a coin, I imagine most technicians would use a caliper to measure tread depth. I would hope.
Most likely a tread gauge, calipers take too long lol
@@daylen577exactly what I was thinking and was looking for when I went to comments 😂
No! If there are no tread at all they first install coin there... I don't know where but they start the change of tire with that.
A coin used to check a plane tire. New TEMU tire gauge.
@@Qwerty.Asdfgh-Diode translation please....your comment is a bit confusing
I PROMISE YOU, THEY DONT USE A COIN TO MEASURE.😂
Yes we do buddy so looks Like you broke a promise!
I can guarantee you it is used more than you now.
A tire tread depth gauge is a tool used to measure how worn out a tire is. You can buy a tire tread depth gauge at an auto parts store.
How to use a tire tread depth gauge
Find the shallowest groove in the tread
Insert the gauge's probe into the groove
Press the gauge's shoulders flat against the tread block
Read the measurement on the gauge
What do the measurements mean?
5/32 in or more: Your tires are in good condition
3/32 in-4/32 in: Your tires are starting to wear down and you should consider replacing them
2/32 in or less: Your tires need to be replaced immediately.
For your kind information they don’t use coins to gauge if the tire is worn out.
Technicians use a a 6 inch scale. Line of sight is good measure. After all on an overnight check (RON) you want the airplane to fly the day without having a delay for tire change.
Can we all appreciate how strong that hydraulic press is 😭
Missing several steps !
-You pin the gears
-Verify tire pressure on the new tire
- inspect the new tire(make sure is assembled correctly)
-clean and inspect the aircraft axle for any damage on the sleeve and
brake rotors
-Then install and toque the tire .
-lubricate the ax
whoops forgot to do some of these ... it willl be fine.
First step is to print up the maintenance manual and have it with you when doing the job. You also forgot to install landing gear pins. One more thing letting the nitrogen out of the wheel (for safety reasons).
How come you even trying to trust AI-generated videos
We use iPads. The day of printing for us is over
I've changed enough of those tires I used a tire depth gage and a visual inspection of the multi disc brakes and sometimes had to replace that to very heavy.
Pneumatic powered hydraulic Jack 😂😂😂😂😂
Is that a problem?
That's correct,powered by nitrogen
Aircraft maintenance technicians (AMTs). Do not use a coin. They gauge the tires using a specific gauge. And many airlines change the tires on overnight checks (RON) before they reach the limits to avoid having to change them during the day and causing a delay.
Do they change all of them at once?
Like a set in the same landing gear or the whole back landing gears sets.
On the "Bad Tire"The guy didn't even put the coin in the groove, he put it next to it,to try and make it look like he put it in the groove spot
I’ve always been taught to not use a torque wrench to break torque,and it showed him doing that.
Should have changed it to how to change a plane wheel

I didn't know any of this stuff, and now I know. Thank you for the information i've been waiting for all my life!
I would love to have one of those tires for my man cave

Lol. Pneumatic powered hydraulic jack. 😂

30
Minutes to change main wheel assembly on Airbus 320 or Boeing 737.
Michelin tyres for aircraft, says that’s a waste. Use until u see thread, also can still be use.
But what if you instal an electro motor than spin up the wheel just before touch down. And that has the right rpm that is synchrone to the landing speed. I think it makes the landing smoother and the tires will last much longer.
Well, the point of rubber wheel is to make as much friction as possible to help stop the plane.
Woooow I always wanted to know that how they carry their job 😎
"pneumatic powered hydraulic" is a contradiction. it's either pneumatic jack or hydraulic jack. not pneumatic and hydraulic on the same jack
Your in third place with ten laps to go, now get back in the race 😂
Most pneumatic tyres usually have a built in wear marker to know when it's unsafe. Also, the fasteners must be tightened per the manufacturer specification by proper torquing measures!?
Now you know!! I always wondered how they did it
I'm pretty sure thry don't use coins for measurement. 😂
Tf? 😂😂😂
... they literally do that .
Nah.. really? 😂😂😂
You want to work here, have finished high school and do you have a couple of pennies in your pocket????😂
We really do it’s just a standard visual guide, I know one guy who uses his little finger as he’s missing two thirds of it 😂
@@SmilingPolitely7u can for cars the coin trick works if a tire doesn't cover coin u need tires it's a good trick to tell women
I certainly hope they’re not using a coin to measure tread thickness
Money talks cobber 😅
The aircraft I use to maintain, if there were visible tread grooves the tire was still good.
Why don’t they have an impeller on each wheel so that when they are lowered they start spinning, so that when they touch down they are spinning the same speed as the plane? It would then stop all the burning of rubber and the tyres lasting longer.
In the Air Force on fighter jets they wear them down to the 3rd layer of cords! Just so you know when you’ve hit the 3rd layer of cords they are red! Once you hit the red cords you change the tire!

To change the engine i wold like to se it.
Nice break!
And here i thought "very carefully" was enough of an answer
They're replacing wheel assemblies. Tires get installed onto the wheel hub in a back shop.
He didnt even have the coin in the groove the 2nd time
Nice job, but you missed a few steps along the way!
I use a tread depth gauge like and other normal tyre technician 😂
"The first step is getting new tires" ya think? Save it.
And that will take 24 hour 😂😂😂😂 #FinnAir 😅
Airbus use cooling brake fans in wheel assembly. But you can change tire within about 30
Minutes. Airlines have carts set up with tire, jack and tools.
The wheel is way bigger than i thought when a person is standing close to it.
I worked on B-52 H model airplane in the Air Force . I’ve never seen or heard of a coin . The rest of it is accurate .
exactly how I change my car tyres with exact tools
We can change a tire on an emergency now , good
When the plane is in the air so tires can get more air 😂
Wheel alignment?
I doubt it they use a coin to measure the thread.. am a truck driver and I used a thread caliper instead of a coin...
Is that why I've seen too many bad landing incidents???😮😮
Thanks this will come in handy when my jumbo jet tires get bald
Wow, with this information now I’m going to be replacing my plane tires
Very interesting wow awesome amazing 🙂🙂👍👍👍👊👊
A pneumatic hydraulic jack ?
That's a new one on me .
It’s a wheel change not a tire change.
“Pneumatic powered hydraulic jack”
Is it pneumatic or hydraulic?
Pick one
same formula one wheels exactly :)
Tires are change if any cores is showing flat spots damaged or air pressure had to be adjusted more then two times.
Flat spotting is a problem.
A pneumatic powered hydraulic jack?!😅
Pretty much the same way car tyres are changed 😅
Hey you forgot to torque your wheel 😮😂
Cool looking there now dude
the same way they do on a car, jack it up, unbolt it, change it, bolt it and lower it.
Should have inspected the brake linings as long as you are there and in your face.
Can they recap aircraft tires?
No. Too dangerous to risk a $30 Million aircraft on worn out parts. Tyres like all aircraft parts have finite life cycles determined by hours or number of landings.
Some would say that a few hundred human passengers Were worth more than 30 million dollars !@@BruinHerr-bj7uk
@@Bassillixx you kiddin' ?
Cargo, cheapest their is.
Yes, for commercial aircraft. I don't know for general aviation.
It depends on the landing speed and wheel loading of the aircraft.
I wanna see the Redbull team do this.
What do they do with the extra parts they have left over and didn't put on..😮
Don't planes use retreading now?
They don't use a coin, they use a depth gauge 🤦🏻
The old tire is deposited on the parking lot when the plane takes off
How much do these tyres cost?
With the new standards, a coin is built into the tread. When you can clearly read, only .5 cents left,on the outer edge of the coin, that's when they change it 😮
Didn't know airplanes had knock-wheels. Wonder if they are Dayton's
Yes I do have done it many times
Need some chrome on those rims!
are you sure they dont reduce the air presure first before taking it out?
If you are changing the tire yes start deflating before removing. If you’re changing the brake leave tire inflated. Because once you deflate the tire you cannot reinforce. The bead could have briken and that tire will
Blow out. You use nitrogen only. Less corrosive and won’t explode
They don't check them this way. 😂
Change a Tyre? They didn't just change a Tyre though they changed a wheel...
Same with cars. 😂
B787-8
Tire or wheel assembly
Pneumatic powered hydraulic jack 😇
Where does spare wheel kept in the flights 🤔
U can put chrome rims with spinner like in the movie soul plane 😅
No body is using a coin to check the tires.
Mechanics use a tread depth gage.
Come on !
I wanna see the machine they use to balance the tires
Step one: Get rid of that annoying jack in the box noise
The coin in the clip is for demonstration purposes, but the guy that pieced this clip together doesn’t know that. If you don’t know that, shame on you
And then a NASCAR crew changes all the tires and fuels it up within 20 seconds.
You guide a main wheel over the splines of the brake assembly. Then release the brakes spin and torque the axle nut. You actually over torque then back off and retorque to proper setting. Over torque to set the bearings
Should have checked the brakes too. 😎
Brakes use a wear pin. Measure with 6 inch scale
now i know how to replace plane tires
Nice! 3 piece wheels and a knock off with multi brakes pads the hub
A tired tire? 😂
You missed the part where you have to pack the bearings
Tires for modern airlines comes with bearings installed. No packing
Offa me the job😊😊 of removing worn plane tires 😁😁
Look I think this has to misinformation a$300million Airplane tyre change is based on the depth of a “coin” 😮😮😮
What about the alignment?
BULL. Nobody uses a coin, even on car tires. The top of Lincoln's head on a penny is 2/32 from the edge. That is minimum tread on a car tire. BUT, modern tires have wear bars that tell you when the tread is too thin.
Pneumatic hydraulic jack?
How can I apply for this job
Can you imagine multi millions if not billions of dollars company uses coin and a standard measurement for tire tread 😅
Coin is never used, this isn't a car tire
Who makes these tires?
I see Goodrich and Michelin (which are same company)
And they only had three parts left over when finished.........
