We have all been there on a preflight: You come to the point in the checklist when it calls for a check of the tire pressure. Be honest. How many times have you just eye-balled the tire and considered it safe for flight?
Tire Pressure Monitor Puts Data to a Smartphone App
Key Takeaways:
- Many aircraft incidents and accidents, particularly runway excursions, are attributed to inadequate tire pressure due to often-skipped or superficial preflight checks.
- Beringer-Aero's new SensAir system offers a solution: a lightweight, balanced module that fits inside Beringer wheels and transmits real-time tire pressure and temperature data to a smartphone app.
- Similar to automotive TPMS, SensAir aims to enhance preflight safety by providing accurate, accessible tire information, overcoming inspection hurdles, and features easy installation with long-lasting batteries, with STC pending for experimental and light sport aircraft.
