I am sure the tires on the 60 are highly stressed compared to other jets but it is still a concern for me. Serious business. That is the accident that created the focus on tire pressures by training centers and service centers.

Yep. That was a bad one and a real eye opener about how dangerous low tire pressure can be.

Username Protected wrote: If you bring a Citation into a Cessna Citation Service Center and any tires are low they will not release the plane until those tires are replaced. Always check your tire pressure before taking a plane into a CCSC. What is the thinking behind that? All I can guess at is that they feel the tire has been compromised by operating at low pressure? From what I have seen flight departments check pressures before first flight of the day. Private operators on a schedule, and others when they look low they then call maintenance. A few have their own nitrogen and top it up them themselves. What sort of leak down rate would you expect on a Citation tire?
