AI Thread Summary
To assess the reliability of an aircraft's landing gear, it is essential to evaluate both the landing gear components and the hydraulic system. Key components include the shock strut, trunnion, tires, wheels, and braking system. Additional factors such as maintenance history, operational environment, and load conditions should also be considered. Understanding the interaction between the hydraulic system and landing gear components can provide a more comprehensive reliability analysis. Thorough evaluation of these elements will lead to a better understanding of landing gear reliability.

hi, I want to find the reliability of a landing gear, shall I consider the hydraulic system as well or just the components of a landing gear. I think mainly we have to consider shock strut, turnion, tyres, wheels and braking system to find out the reliability of landing gear, are there any other important components to be considered to determine the reliability.

Hi I want to find the reliability of a specific aircraft landing gear, so what factors I should consider. Could anyone give me some suggestions please. Thank you
 

Thread 'Never think never for an improbable event'

Pilot training is critical to safe flying. I watched the following video regarding the crash of TAM 402 (31 October 1996), which crashed into a Sao Paolo neighorbood about 25 seconds after takeoff. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TAM_Transportes_A%C3%A9reos_Regionais_Flight_402 The pilots were never trained to handle such an event (the airline had asked the manufacturer about training for this event), since it was considered too improbable (so rare) by the manufacturer. There was no...

Thread 'Space Stuff and Launch Info'

Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
