Federal Aviation Administration has released a safety alert on landing-gear in 2008. Such issuance followed more than 300 instances of unapproved parts shipped by an AAR Corp. unit for use in Boeing aircraft, the article says. The FAA confirms that such landing-gear parts are non-compliant ...
Aircraft landing gear is a critical system; if it does not work the result is catastrophic. Assume the system is controlled by a computer in the cockpit that drives an electric motor in the wing wheel well. List 10 features and steps that would increase the safety of the system. View chap...
Sometimes, there are issues with the landing gear not coming out properly during landing or not locking in place right during flight or on the ground. Because of all this, companies that make and fix landing gear have to follow rules set by aviation authorities like the FAA and EASA. Even...
Snorri Gudmundsson BScAE, MScAE, Ph.D., FAA DER (ret.), in General Aviation Aircraft Design (Second Edition), 2022 13.1 Introduction The purpose of the landing gear is obvious—to allow the aircraft to return to the ground without causing damage to the structure. The primary function of ...
Re: Beringer Alaskan Landing Gear System Continue to beat up the Beringer ALG as best I can. Below is a video of my hardest landing to date, though in the video it looks mild. In this video you can see the worst the Beringer ALG gives back after a hard landing is a skip aft...

be returned to the raised position before the gear can be retracted.The arrow was originally manufactured with an emergency automatic free-fall system that has since been removed by FAA airworthiness directive. However, references to the auto free fall are still in the pilots operating handbook.
Evolved from the FITER1 computer code, another computer code called ARRESTOR was developed to predict the aircraft arresting performance within an arrestor bed during the FAA study in 1986 [44]. In this computer code, the aircraft response was a function of the vertical gear force, the drag ...
The invention relates to a retractable landing gear including an articulated leg (100) and an associated cross-bracing means (140). In accordance with the invention, the landing gear is of the leg-shortening type, and the cross-bracing means are produced in the form of a fold-away strut (...
