The purpose of this SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) is to establish guidelines for the measurement of static and dynamic characteristic properties of aircraft tires. It is intended as a general guide toward standard practice, but may be subject to frequent changes to keep pace with experience and technical advances. It replaces the previous SAE document, AIR1380.

The purpose of this SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) is to establish guidelines for the measurement of static and dynamic characteristic properties of aircraft tires. It is intended as a general guide toward standard practice, but may be subject to frequent changes to keep pace with experience and technical advances. This revision (Revision A) is also intended to provide suggested guidelines for synthesizing tire dynamic data necessary for landing gear shimmy analyses.

This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) covers the design, construction, performance and testing requirements for hand held aircraft tire inflation pressure gauges with valve stem attachment chuck to be used with all aircraft types. The ground-based gauges in this specification are those which are designed to read the tire inflation pressure from a position adjacent to the tire.

This document points to a standard ASTM test method utilized by land vehicle manufacturers and others to provide the electrical resistance of a tire. It is desired that this ASTM test method is also used with aircraft tires. This method will assure that more accurate repeatable data is provided to those in the aerospace industry who request it.
