Abstract

THE routine maintenance of aircraft undercarriages is an important function whether the aircraft is operated by large or small airlines, and it is a fact that these costly items start wearing from the very first day they are installed. The amount of wear that takes place on an aircraft undercarriage depends very much on the type of work on which it is employed. It will be obvious that aircraft on short runs take‐off and land very frequently and consequently show signs of wear sooner than those on long distance flights. Regular maintenance to the undercarriage parts will no doubt be carried out from the time the aircraft is delivered, as specified under the maker's maintenance manuals, but there will come a time when the permitted amount of wear has taken place and the undercarriage must be overhauled.
