Cox" : Working for the World's Finest Regional Airline for 2007, I can affirmative confirm the exclusive use of nitrogen and the pressures stated below. First the nitrogen does not promote combustion, neither does that damnable Skydrol (phosphate ester) brake fluid, but more importantly the absence of impurities and oxygen allows the airlines to recap tires multiple times. Air is left for the more unfortunate GA aircraft. Even the small bizjets are opting for High Pressure Nitrogen. By the way, Aircraft Spruce is offering a regulator to spread the benefit to the masses. The frequency of which (Recapping)and the number of times of which no self respecting paying passenger would ever want to know. Just be assured it is safer than with third world foreign carriers. Yes - nitrogen. Safety factor is improved. John Cox > Should tires be filled with air or nitrogen? A few months ago the > benefits > of nitrogen for use in oleo struts were discussed. I imagine nitrogen is > better, but how critical is this in tires?
