Question: 1 / 1030

How long should you wait after a flight before checking tire pressure?

Immediately after landing

At least 2 hours (3 hours in hot weather)

After a flight, it is important to allow the tires to cool down before checking the tire pressure. Checking the tire pressure immediately after landing may provide inaccurate readings due to the increase in temperature during flight. This could lead to overinflation of the tires. Waiting for at least 2 hours (or 3 hours in hot weather conditions) allows the tires to cool down to ambient temperature, providing a more accurate tire pressure reading. Option A is incorrect because checking immediately after landing could lead to an inaccurate reading. Option C is incorrect as there is no standard conversion of 1 hour for every hour of flight. Option D is also incorrect as waiting 12 hours regardless of weather conditions is unnecessary and may not provide an accurate tire pressure reading.
