RAPCO produces quality FAA-PMA approved replacement organic and metallic brake linings for Cleveland and McCauley brake assemblies on most general aviation aircraft. Organic linings are actually made from a semi metallic mix. RAPCO combines brass, copper and Kevlar fibers with a high temperature binding compound to provide outstanding performance and long service life. Most RAPCO organic linings have a built in wear indicator, which reduces the risk of damage to the brake disc and helps to optimize lining life. RAPCO organic linings are available in boxes of 10 or in organic lining kits containing the proper number of linings and rivets necessary for replacement on Cleveland or McCauley brake assemblies. They are convenient to have on hand when the need for relining occurs. Metallic lining replacements for the Cleveland brake assemblies are made of sintered steel, a specially developed process that fuses metallic particles to a steel carrier plate. RAPCO metallic linings offer long life and excellent braking performance.

RAPCO Brake Rivets are FAA-PMA approved quality tubular rivets produced from plated steel for mounting aircraft brake linings. The RAPCO RA825 Rivet Tool Kit is recommended for proper installation.

Please refer to the attached Application Guide for additional information.

Aircraft braking systems serve a vital function during takeoff, landing and taxiing. Along with landing gear, aircraft wheels and brakes are critical to ensure safe and reliable aircraft ground operations under extreme forces, stress, as well as wear and tear from general operation and the environment. Commercial aircraft brakes are arranged in multiple disk pairs commonly referred to as Heat Sinks or Heat Packs (as they convert the kinetic energy of the moving airplane to heat energy). Initially made metal (steel) heat sinks are gradually replaced by those from carbon fibres (particularly on larger, long-haul commercial airplanes) due to their higher efficiency in braking applications, longer life-span, lower weight and resulting less fuel consumption and lower CO2 emission by the engines. 

Carbon and steel heat packs and parts are offered as part of our own labelled (AVIATIONEU NEW ERA) product lines. Sourced from quality suppliers these heat packs  feature high quality, safety, improved design, significant cost savings and fast deliveries. They can be used as  cost effective alternatives in many commercial aircraft platforms equalling or exceeding standards of  respective OEM products by leading manufacturers such as Honeywell Aerospace, Collins Aerospace/Goodrich Wheels & Brakes, Parker Meggitt Aircraft Braking Systems and Safran Landing Systems (formerly Messier-Bugatti-Dowty). They are  PMA approved (*) parts by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) for use on an extensive list of Western and Eastern commercial (civil ) aircraft platforms including Boeing, Airbus, McDonnell Douglas, Ilyushin and others and are currently installed in aircraft operating by different air transport operators in China and other countries in the Middle-East, South and Central Asia and Africa.

Typical Aircraft Applications for steel and carbon heat packs include Boeing 737 / 757, Airbus A318 / A319 / A320 / A330 , McDonnell Douglas: MD82 /MD90  Xian MA60 etc. 

(*)  Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) is a combined design and production approval granted by a competent Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to a manufacturer of aircraft parts for modification and replacement. Use of Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) approved parts in other countries depends on existing bilateral agreements between CAAC and respective competent authorities in these countries.

AIRFRAMES ALASKA designs and manufactures ALASKAN BUSHWHEEL (ABI) wheels & brakes and tires made for flying and landing off-field in the most rugged backcountry conditions. ABI tires absorb the energy of rough landings, taking the brunt of the impact off the pilots, wheels, gear, and airframe. Unlike your standard aircraft tires, Bushwheels are tubeless. This distinctive design eliminates the problem of tire slippage and stem shearing and makes it possible to run these tires at very low PSI. Different models are offered to suit needs of aircraft operating conditions. ABI tires are FAA TSO C62d approved. Models are available in the following versions and fit standard 6" wheels unless otherwise mentioned:

Standard thread: 3/16"

Heavy thread: 1/4". Heavy tread 26" ABI tires are constructed with a thicker tread layer. Suitable for pilots operating their aircraft on pavement between backcountry flights.

The 26" ABI tires are designed and handcrafted for use on lighter aircraft such as Cessna 182 & Cessna 206. They're also the ideal "entry level" bush tires for pilots upgrading from standard tube type aviation tires for the first time.

A step up in terms of size, 29" ABI tires have a slighter profile and create less drag than larger Bushwheels. This places these bush tires in size/weight sweet spot for heavier aircraft like Cessna and Maule while still providing the footprint and energy absorption critical in bush landings. 

The 31" ABI tires are handcrafted featuring an impressive ratio of weight to size. Their solid footprint makes these bush tires the de facto standard for bush pilots.

The 35" ABI tires are designed for the most rugged off-airport operations. They require ABI 10650 10" wheels.

The 35" Beaver ABI tires stand up to the heavier load of de Havilland Beaver and Pilatus aircraft with a gross weight up to 5600 lbs (2800 static load rating per tire).

STOMIL-POZNAŃ S.A. is a tire manufacturer producing All-Terrain (AT) tires designed to perform on- and off-road, providing traction and comfort in different surface conditions. STOMIL tires are used in aviation as well other sectors such as the mining industry. STOMIL tires are installed in most Polish gliders and aircraft including; Jantar, Puchaz, PW–5, etc. They are offered in different versions (Wersja) and sizes with  350x135, 200x80 and 255x110 being the most popular ones. Different STOMIL tubes are also offered for use with the company tires.

- a very long tire life and lower maintenance costs due to fewer tire changes

- exceptional balance for smooth taxiing,even wear, and heat resistance

- maximum protection against sidewall cracking caused by ozone and UV light

- excellent lateral stability and impact absorption, even under rough landing conditions

Product Features:

Deep Tread Depth: Thick rubber in the tread area helps provide for a long tire life. Contributes to lower maintenance costs due to fewer tire changes.

Unique Bead Construction: Provides a firm (tight) fit to help reduce movement between the tire and wheel. Helps improve lateral stability for a long tire life, even under rough landing conditions

Optimized Casing Design: Proprietary Michelin production processes help balance stresses within the tire structure. Strong, yet lightweight nylon cords are designed to exceed strict industry standards for overpressure strength. Results in an effi cient, lightweight product with excellent balance properties for smooth taxiing, even wear, and resistance to heat buildup for a long tire life.

Customized Rubber Compounds: Sidewall is optimized for both ozone and ultraviolet light protection which helps reduce ozone cracking in key areas of the tire. Provides our maximum amount of exterior wear and crack resistance for a long tire life.

Contoured Shoulder Design: Helps absorb lateral impacts associated with landing. Designed to help the tire achieve a full life, even under adverse conditions.
