ED Decision 2016/029/R
This appendix prescribes the Minimum Performance Standard (MPS) of SAE ARP5381, ‘Minimum Performance Recommendations for Part 23, 27, and 29 Aircraft Wheels, Brakes, and Wheel-Brake Assemblies’, dated October 2000, as modified in this ETSO.
Additions to and one deletion from the standard, are shown in italics as follows:
Additions:
1. Page 3, a new paragraph is added after 3.6:
Suitable Tire for Brake Tests, TTBT
TTBT is the rated tyre type and size.
TTBT is the tyre type and size that has been determined as being the most critical for brake performance and/or energy absorption tests. The TTBT must be a tire type and size approved for installation on the wheel (TSWR). The suitable tyre may be different for different tests.
2. Page 7, a new paragraph is added after 4.3:
Fire Protection: Except for small parts (such as fasteners, seals, grommets, and small electrical parts) that would not contribute significantly to the propagation of a fire, all solid materials used must meet the applicable flammability rules for the part and category of aircraft.
Deletion:
1. Page 13, paragraph 5.3.3.2 is disregarded. Worn brake testing is not a requirement of Part 23, 27 or 29, so it cannot be included in this TSO.
