Tire pressure matters. Whether it’s making takeoff roll performance numbers, hauling it to a stop after landing or just getting maximum life out of a set of tires, proper inflation plays a big role.
For owners who want an easy way to check tire pressure before getting in the airplane, Southern Precision Components’ Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) may be it. Small pressure sensors attached to each tire’s valve stem measure and transmit tire pressure and temperature to a monitoring unit that receives the data when it is within 25-50 feet.
