Be safe.
Aircraft tires/wheels work under extreme conditions, carrying up to 340 tons and accelerating at over 250km/hour at takeoff, in addition to enduring varied environmental stress when in flight and taxiing. Aircraft wheels are subjected to the daily punishment of multiple takeoffs and landings.
Safety in military/commercial aviation continues to depend on good crew performance. Good crew performance, in turn, is founded on standard operating procedures that are clear, comprehensive, and readily available to the flight crew. Development of SOPs is most effective when done by collaboration, using the best resources available including the end-users themselves, the flight crews.
A minimum equipment list (MEL) is a list which provides for the operation of aircraft, subject to specified conditions, with particular equipment inoperative (which is) prepared by an operator in conformity with, or more restrictive than, the MMEL established for the aircraft type.
Failure to properly secure aircraft components can compromise powerplant and control system operation, leading to system and component failures. Properly secure aircraft components with safety wire, ensure that hardware locking mechanisms are properly installed on your aircraft, and check them often to confirm they are taut and ready for flight

An aircraft flight manual (AFM) is a book containing the information required to safely operate the aircraft. A typical flight manual will contain the following: operating limitations, Normal/Abnormal/Emergency operating procedures, performance data and loading information.
