In a letter to the Federal Aviation Administration, the National Transportation Safety Board expressed its concern about multiple tyre failures in wide-bodied aircraft, such as that experienced by the Continental Air Lines DC-10 at Los Angeles International Airport on March 1st, 1978. Several actions the FAA had underway or was planning to initiate. The Safety Board acknowledges these actions as a step toward reducing the potential risk of tyre failures. However, the Safety Board's public hearing, which was convened on May 30th, 1978, as part of the investigation of the DC-10 accident, elicited much testimony regarding factors which can affect tyre safety and reliability; and as a result, we believe that additional regulatory or advisory actions are needed in the areas of design standards, qualification testing, quality control during manufacture, and operational limits. Our concerns apply to retreaded tyres as well as new tyres.
