SUMMARY
The reliability of landing gear is determined by multiple components, including the hydraulic system, shock strut, turnion, tyres, wheels, and braking system. These elements collectively influence the performance and safety of the landing gear in aircraft. It is essential to evaluate both the mechanical components and the hydraulic systems to gain a comprehensive understanding of landing gear reliability. Additional factors may also play a role, depending on the specific aircraft model.
